Abstract

Development is crucial for the prosperity of any country. Infrastructural development plays a vital role in the socioeconomic development of the country. However, sometimes it causes development-induced displacement that results in trauma for displaced community and creates challenges for them. In this vein, the current paper aims to explore challenges and prospects of development-induced development of the M-4 project where in 3674 persons were affected from Gojra to Shorkot. A qualitative stance was adopted to account the actual experiences of the Projected Affected Persons (PAPs), whose families were displaced due to M-4 project. A total of twelve Focus Group Discussions (FDGs) were conducted. In which 93 Project Affected Persons (PAPs) participated. Thematic analysis was carried out to draw major themes. It was found that the affected families faced many social cultural and economic challenges while being displaced from their owned assets. The Project Affected Persons families became homeless and landholders became landless. Their source of livelihood vanished and they felt hard to change their means of livelihood. It is suggested that the government and other funding agencies should play their vibrant role in the diminution of the challenges they are still facing in bringing themselves back into mainstream society.
安置和流离失所社区的挑战与前景——以M-4项目从戈格拉到肖克特段为例
发展是任何国家繁荣的根本。基础设施建设在国家社会经济发展中起着至关重要的作用。然而,有时它会导致发展导致的流离失所,给流离失所的社区造成创伤,并给他们带来挑战。在这方面,本文旨在探讨M-4项目的挑战和发展前景,其中从Gojra到Shorkot的3674人受到影响。采取了一种定性立场来考虑预计受影响者的实际经历,这些人的家庭因M-4项目而流离失所。共进行了12次焦点小组讨论。共有93名项目受影响人士参与。进行主题分析,得出主要主题。调查发现,受影响的家庭在失去自己的资产时面临许多社会、文化和经济挑战。受项目影响的家庭无家可归,土地所有者失去土地。他们的生活来源消失了,他们感到很难改变他们的生活方式。建议政府和其他资助机构应该发挥积极作用,减少他们在回归主流社会方面仍然面临的挑战。
