Abstract
The “Yangtze River to Huaihe River” project is another large-scale trans-basin water diversion project in China, following the South-to-North Water Division Project. The reservoir project is in the period of China’s rapid development of modernization, informatization and marketization. During this period, reservoir-induced migrants have great differences in resource endowment and development opportunities, so they show different characteristics in the integration process. In order to clarify these characteristics and formulate corresponding policies based on these characteristics to help them integrate into the society of the resettlement area as soon as possible, this paper has completed two aspects of work: First, a method for identifying social integration is proposed. Second, the characteristics of social integration of different migrant groups in different time dimensions are analyzed. This study has two important findings: First, the extent of information sources and understanding of policies has a greater impact on the social integration of migrants. The wider the source of information and the more understanding of policies, the more it helps migrants to integrate into society. Second, the social network relationship established by the female migrant group in the maintenance activities will greatly promote their social integration.
Highlights
Since the reform and opening up, China’s high-speed economic development has led to large-scale construction projects, such as dams, highways, and inter-basin water diversion projects, which have resettled about 50 million people [1]
This paper studies the social integration of migrants from “Yangtze River to Huaihe River” project in the Feixi county, Hefei city, Anhui province, China
Based on the conclusions drawn above, this paper proposes policy implications for the social integration of the migrants from the “Yangtze River to Huaihe River” project to help them integrate into the new life of the resettlement area
Summary
Since the reform and opening up, China’s high-speed economic development has led to large-scale construction projects, such as dams, highways, and inter-basin water diversion projects, which have resettled about 50 million people [1]. The economic income has been greatly improved, it is difficult for some migrants to integrate into the new social environment, which has led these migrants to collectively return to the area surrounding the reservoir [10]. The issue of social integration of reservoir-induced migrants cannot be ignored
