Handbook on Resettlement: A Guide to Good Practice : 6. Relocation
6.5. Living with the Host PopulationIn resettlement planning, the APs cannot be considered in isolation. The relocation of APs is likely to have impacts on the host population in many areas, including employment, use of common property resources, and pressure on natural resources or social services. Conflicts between hosts and resettled population may arise if the resettlement implementation agency assists only the APs. Infrastructure and support services at the relocation sites can be shared with the host community, and the hosts can participate with relocatees in programs for economic development and social integration. The host population should not feel that they are being discriminated against in the distribution of non-compensation entitlements. They deserve access to training, employment, and other benefits generated by the project.
