Abstract

This paper reports on a fieldwork survey involving two hydropower projects in Southwestern China. Specifically, the perspectives of officials handling the land acquisition and their influence on migrant satisfaction are examined. Data collected from 120 migrants and 74 officials in Guizhou Province showed 10 factors that significantly impact migrant satisfaction. There is a positive correlation between the perspectives of the officials and migrant satisfaction for most of the factors. However, public service, payment of funding, and culture and tradition are exceptions caused by unsuitable resettlement mechanisms. These exceptions indicate that resettlement policies and mechanisms should be better designed to meet the requirements of local conditions.

Keywords hydropower engineering resettlement satisfaction factor analysis method
