Abstract
Environmental degradation and its impacts for islands and coastal nations have prompted policymakers and academics to focus on resettlement of individuals residing within those risky areas. Similar initiatives have been introduced in Bangladesh in 1972 named "Cluster Village Project", and individuals who are landless or have been displaced as a result of river coastal erosion, storms, or flooding have been relocated as part of the scheme. Due to economic and political complexity of the subject, several ruling parties gave it different titles, although none of them changed dramatically from the basic targets and strategies of resettled populations and the welfare of the landless and harsh weather victims. This research focuses on how and to the what degree moved households' livelihoods have altered, including the opportunities and restrictions of relocated settlements. According to an empirical study conducted in four Guchchhograms of Narail District's Lohagara Upazila, the migrated people's livelihood conditions have improved significantly, but location specific drawbacks and link to productive resources, the local labor market, and a number of the project's specific goals have not been met. Rehabilitated households face some of the same hazards as before; however, adequate agricultural lands and good distribution can help to mitigate such risks.
