Satisfaction and Positive Resettlement: Evidence From Yallourn, Latrobe Valley, Australia
Resettlement of entire communities is among the more difficult tasks in planning. The problems encountered during the 1960s were such that now any initiative involving relocation requires careful justification and may be vigorously disputed by interest groups. However, emerging resource limitations increase the likelihood of the forced removal of communities located adjacent to reserves hitherto considered submarginal. This paper concerns an Australian town which is being demolished to allow expansion of an open-cut coal mine. Despite conflicts preceding resettlement, the outcome so far has been surprisingly positive. The case offers insights to those dealing with urban redevelopment and population shifts in the future.
