ABSTRACT
Very few studies have been conducted to analyze the long-term consequences of large infrastructure development on community rehabilitation. This study reviews the Kusaki and Sameura dam projects in Japan, which were carried out in the 1970s. This research attempted to identify factors in the compensation schemes and resettlement negotiations of these projects that affected long-term community rehabilitation and individual resettlement. The lessons learned from this study will provide valuable knowledge for developing countries where large infrastructure development has been vigorously undertaken.
