dc.description.abstractResettlement is one of the risk reduction measures in the field of disaster management. The Government of Pakistan has worked out a plan of resettlement of the Balakot town to mitigate the risk of earthquake hazard. In post-earthquake scenario, residents of the Balakot town interacted with the changed physical and economic environment. The line agencies of the Government guided this interaction of environmental adaptation or resettlement processes through laws, regulations, incentives, and penalties as providing: new site for Balakot town at Bakryal; declaring old Balakot town in red zone; discouraging developmental activities in the old Balakot town; and formulated the future plans for old and new Balakot towns. The process of resettlement of Balakot town has been directly affected by some important factors such as: the perception of the residents of Balakot town about hazards; economic opportunities; centrality; and hazardous site of the old Balakot town; planned site of the new Balakot town; distance between the new and old Balakot towns; location of the new Balakot town; economic opportunities at new Balakot town; justice and equity in the resettlement policy; and obstructions which are delaying the project.
