DIDs, mining-induced displacement (MID) remains understudied, therefore, its unique consequences remain unknown. The study was motivated by the fact that most economists have relegated the study on economic consequences of internal displacement to anthropologists and other disciplines despite the fact that displacement has economic consequences.
Key words: Development-induced Displacement, Data mining, Cluster Analysis, Vulnerability, Impoverishment. JEL Classification: O10; O15; C12: C380 1. Introduction Projects such as dams, industries, mines, infrastructure such as power, roads and transport are intended to enhance economic development of a country. However, one of the negative
For over four decades, scholars, campaigners and project-affected people have sought to highlight the effects of development-induced displacement and resettlement (DIDR). Increasingly, the generic set of international standards that are used to manage cases of DIDR are being tested by the unique challenges posed by mining-induced displacement ...
Mining induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR) led to loss of socio-cultural, economic and environmental aspects of the displaced families thereby affecting their livelihood. Included was loss of land, common property resources, and disruption of social networks, loss of traditional authority and identity and destruction of forests and ...
India is a country of unparalleled diversity within both the cultural and ecological spheres of life. This paper examines the author's experience exploring and inquiring into the mental health implications of mining and mining induced displacement within several Adivasi (tribal) communities in Andhra Pradesh, India. Through collaboration with Samata, a local Non-Government Organization …
Our focus is mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR). We argue that the dominance of DIDR as a singular frame of reference limits the extent to which the particularities of MIDR can be understood and accounted for. This limitation has pronounced and detrimental effects on contemporary resettlement practice in the global mining industry.
The problem of mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR) poses major risks to societal sustainability. Unfortunately, no global survey has assessed the scale of MIDR. Available evidence suggests that the problem is significant. Mining displaced …
Although mining-induced displacement is a global phenomenon, problems experienced by the displacees in many parts of the world differ greatly. The largest portion of the displacement is caused by open-pit mining (associated with the extraction of gold, copper, iron, lignite, and diamonds).
This study examines mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR) in rutile mining communities in Sierra Leone, drawing from mining and resettlement literature and utilizing political ecology and the impoverishment risk and reconstruction (IRR) model. Data for this paper was primarily obtained from semi-structured interviews of sixty ...
Mining induced displacement of people and their resettlement has become a very sensitive issue. In India most of minerals are located under forests in tribal areas. A large population of tribal communities are displaced due to open-pit mining associated with the extraction of gold, copper, iron, lignite, and diamonds. The size of the mines today is bigger than in the past.
Surface subsidence induced by mining subsidence affects the overlying buildings and nearby utilities. Therefore, an investigation of the internal displacement and surface settlement is very importa...
1. Introduction. Mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR) can cause major social disruption and affect the socioeconomic condition of resettled persons, yet it is an inevitable outcome of incremental mineral exploitation (Kemp, Owen, & Collins, 2017; Owen & Kemp, 2015).Mining-induced displacement involves, mostly, the involuntary movement of affected people …
Similarly, the assessment of various distinctive characteristics of Mining-Induced Displacement and Resettlements (MIDR), such as the satisfaction levels with neighbourhoods, is generally scanty in the scholarly literature (Cernea & McDowel, 2000; Downing, 2002; Owen & Kemp, 2015; Stanley, 2004).
12%One such feature is that mining-induced displacement sometimes takes a step-wise approach to displacement (Downing 2014). Owen and Kemp also noted that mining-induced displacement and resettlement is unique in that the displaced and the mining companies may cohabit. It was also noted that because of resource constraints, most governments ...
"Mining-induced displacement ... was one of the most underreported causes of displacement in Africa, and one that was likely to increase, as mineral extraction remained a key economic driver in the whole region," was one of the conclusions of a official report by SADC, the Southern African Development Community, early 2006.
This section focusses on the roles of school development committees towards the safety of learners in disaster-induced displacement schools. The participants argued that many school development committee members in schools located in disaster-induced displacement sites have limited knowledge of their roles in promoting safety in schools.
ity (project-induced displacement and resettlement). Dam-induced and mining-induced displacement and resettlement are two sector-specific terms that have emerged. People may need to make way for a change in land use, such as the creation of a national park, bio - …

The database includes records of mining induced displacement and resettlement events. Records are structured around "events" rather than "mining projects" on the basis that a mining project will often undertake, or induce, several displacements over the course of its lifecycle.
Development-induced displacements may lead to loss of land, livelihoods, shelter, property, and access to social facilities, natural resources and cultural heritage, if the affected people are not cushioned by appropriate compensation and social support mechanisms, as well as integrated rehabilitation programmes to mitigate negative impact.
