    Forced Relocation after the Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004 Forced Relocation after the Case study of vulnerable populations in three relocation settlements in Galle, Sri Lanka Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004 by Nishara Fernando Case study of vulnerable populations in three relocation settlements in Galle, Sri Lanka Populations may be displaced mainly because of natural and technological disasters, large-scale development projects and conflicts. Various governments have used by Nishara Fernando voluntary and involuntary relocation of such displaced populations into new settle- ments. However, relocation needs careful planning as it builds new communities. Without this, relocated communities could become more vulnerable to poverty and chronic poverty situations, which could lead to relocation failures. This PhD dissertation investigates the impact of forced relocation on the livelihoods of residents who lived in the city of Galle, Southern Province of Sri Lanka, prior to the 2004 tsunami, who were forcibly relocated into new settlements situated far from Galle city because of the “buffer zone regulation” (no construction zone). This study also examines livelihood strategies (i.e., coping and enhancement) employed by forcibly relocated people against various stresses and risks emanat- ing from forced relocation by adopting a socio-geographical approach. It further attempts to show how all these risks and stresses have increased social vulnerability, threatening the livelihood security of the relocated people in general and in some groups, in particular in three research locations. RESEARCH SERIES Finally, various findings of this research study will no doubt shed more light to form new policies on disaster-induced displacement and relocation processes. Nishara Fernando earned his PhD in Geography at the University of Bonn, Germany, while conducting his research within the structure of the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS).

Successive governments have welcomed NGO and foreign donor funds for large scale construction projects. At the same time, with the support of Sinhala nationalist groups, governments have also portrayed NGOs and foreign donors as imperial agents. This criticism has been used against NGOs involved in the promotion and protection of human rights, especially in the war affected areas. This inconsistent behaviour of governments towards NGOs and foreign donors reflects opportunistic politics.
