Impact of energy transition policy and technology shocks on the coal power workforce and China's economic development
Toward a New Paradigm of Urbanization through Resettlement
This paper conceptualizes urbanization through resettlement as a distinct paradigm in resettlement planning, marking a paradigm shift from viewing resettlement as a by-product to a driver of state-led urbanization in China. Grounded in the framework of planetary urbanization, it draws on two empirical cases, administrative reclassification in Hangzhou and poverty alleviation resettlement in Qianxi, based on multi-method fieldwork conducted from 2…
The effects of resettlement in urban redevelopment; insights from the Kejetia project in Ghana
Traditional marketplaces have become the key targets for urban redevelopment by local governments in Ghana to reinvent spaces and generate income. However, the resettlement issues have become the main constraints affecting developers and the affected traders. The present study seeks to provide practical solutions to the top resettlement issues and effects using the Kejetia Project as a case study. A mixed methodology approach was used to elicit a…
How do past global experiences of coal phase-out inform China’s domestic approach to a just transition
China produces nearly half of the world’s coal and more than half of the global coal-fired electricity. Its CO 2 emissions are higher than the combined volumes of the next three world regions—the US, Europe, and India. China has announced a net-zero commitment by 2060. This timeline creates enormous pressure to maintain energy security while phasing down coal use. Despite the localized nature of China’s coal production with nearly 80% of its ther…
Social vulnerability, impacts and adaptations strategies in the face of natural hazards
The findings underscore the importance of evaluating the susceptibility of local areas to climate change and emphasize the need for tailored local initiatives and policies to reduce vulnerability and enhance adaptability in communities residing in char households

Social stability risk assessment and economic competitiveness in China
Social stability risk assessment (SSRA) has become the mainstream policy instrument for assessing potential risks of large-scale development projects across all sectors in China. In this paper, fuzzy qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is used to quantify the impact of SSRA policy on economic competitiveness across China’s 31 provinces using a SSRA policy dataset (2003–2020) and a provincial economic competitiveness dataset (2019–2020). QCA …
Understanding rural local government response during Covid-19-induced lockdown
Fostering land-sharing scheme as alternative resettlement to the inevitable Old Fadama evictions and challenges in Ghana
The study aims to explain the essence of an alternative approach to the Old Fadama inevitable eviction and to justify the merits & feasibility of a land-sharing scheme to the community. Previous studies used principles to explain the feasibility of land-sharing, but the present study adopted both principles and theories. The injustice and social inequality from evictions are ironed out by applying Amartya Sen’s idea on justice that counters trans…
Covid-19 induced impact on informal migrants in Bangladesh
Purpose This study intends to explore the impact of occupation and income on informal migrants in the face of COVID-19 induced lockdown in Bangladesh and their coping strategies to survive the pandemic situation. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a qualitative research design in which four urban areas were chosen purposively from various parts of Dhaka city. The authors conducted 21 semi-structured in-depth interviews, four FGDs and e…
Risk perceptions and mining-induced displacement and resettlement
Based on data obtained from a survey conducted in the Liang Huai coal mining area in Anhui Province, the author analyzed the risk perception of a group of affected persons (APs) regarding the reality of relocation and their willingness to move. The purpose was to test the scales created and analyze as a whole the most significant predictors found in the pervious literature. The results show that the individual characteristics of APs and the reset…
Social stability risk assessment
Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is widely used in the field of international evaluation, but its application in China has been limited. Based on the dual requirements of developing the economy and maintaining stability, social stability risk assessment (SSRA) systems have come into being in China at a historic moment. Starting from the similarities and differences between SIA and SSRA, this paper reviews the influencing factors, sources, evaluatio…
Skills’ sets and shared benefits
Development induced displacement and resettlement (DIDR) projects should share their benefits with those affected by them. This paper shows that in the case of the Yangtze-Huai River Diversion Project in China perceptions of compensation received differs amongst different groups of resettled people even if levels of compensation are similar. Based on a survey with displaced people, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation concludes that those with generi…
Improving Post-Relocation Support for People Resettled by Infrastructure Development
Lagging other components, project-induced resettlement rarely, if ever, is completed after those resettled are compensated and replacement infrastructure handed-over. Initiating livelihood restoration programs may jumpstart but fall short of re-articulating dismantled local economies. Successful resettlement requires pre- and post-relocation actions that will help resellers and their hosts re-articulate new routine social and economic arrangement…
How does a single community grant multiple social licences for a problematic metro project? Reflections from a dynamic perspective
Gaining a social licence to operate (SLO) is important to ensure a smooth-going metro project, yet few relevant studies exist. Using a small but eventful case from Nanjing, China, this study considers how a metro station construction project is assigned overlapping and fluid social licences by a local community and how these social licences interact with the project. The analytical framework is underpinned by two ‘continuum’ theories, one develop…
Land asset securitization
Development Project (DP) is creating the benefits for all and taking benefit-sharing (BS) as a goal. BS involves paying something above the fair market compensation or replacement value of the assets lost in the displacement and resettlement. BS becomes more important and complicated when the lost assets are not transacted as commodities in a market. BS is a key to resolve the challenges on impoverishment caused development induced displacement a…
Sustained Effects of Government Response on the Covid-19 Infection Rate in China
Many scholars have considered the relationship between the government response to COVID-19, an important social intervention strategy, and the COVID-19 infection rate. However, few have examined the sustained impact of an early government response on the COVID-19 infection rate. The current paper fills this gap by investigating a national survey performed in February 2020 and infection data from Chinese cities surveyed 1.5 years after the outbrea…
An applied framework for assessing the relative deprivation of dam‐affected communities
Over the past half century, hydropower dams have displaced 40–80 million people around the world. In the development literature, the outcome of these shocks is represented in the form of “absolute deprivation.” The policy norms surrounding development‐induced displacement and resettlement, across all industries, prioritize compensation as the primary means through which to address any short‐term deprivation caused by the shock of displacement. On…

Early Transmission Dynamics in Wuhan, China, of Novel Coronavirus–Infected Pneumonia
BACKGROUND: The initial cases of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected pneumonia (NCIP) occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019 and January 2020. We analyzed data on the first 425 confirmed cases in Wuhan to determine the epidemiologic characteristics of NCIP. METHODS: We collected information on demographic characteristics, exposure history, and illness timelines of laboratory-confirmed cases of NCIP that had been reported by…
Social impact assessment of investment activities in the China–Pakistan economic corridor
In order to analyze potential social risks, and achieve smooth implementation of investment activities in the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), we attempt to establish social impact and risk indicators. Both the impacts on the projects and the impacts of the projects are used to develop risk indicators in accordance with the literature review, reality and international standard principles. Using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and aver…
