Even though development displacement has been taking place even in the past, it has now become a heavily debated topic. This book specifically looks at communities who are affected by various forms of displacement caused by natural disasters, conflict, urbanisation and development projects. Carried out in Batticaloa, Galle and Colombo, the main objective of this research is to highlight the main issues and the challenges faced by the displaced people.
