Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effects of the implementation of the resettlement approach on the resilience of local residents. This research is an applied study in terms of its objectives and a survey study regarding the data collection technique. The statistical population includes the heads of rural households in the studied villages. Overall, there were 1610 households in the new city of Feraghi and also 730 households in three villages displaced in 2016. Given the formation of Feraghi City by the accumulation of 11 adjoining displaced villages in the form of separate neighborhoods, five neighborhoods of Pashayi, Qapan-e Sofla, Khujehlar, Aq Toqeh, and Chatal from the new city of Feraghi (accumulation pattern) and Qulaq Kasan Village (limited displacement pattern) were selected for sampling. The number of required questionnaires (sample size) was determined using the Cochran formula according to which 360 households were selected at a 95% confidence interval and 0.05 error rate. The instruments were distributed among the households in a random-systematic way. In addition, the Spanish version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was applied in order to assess the resilience of the respondents. According to the results, lack of individual resilience was observed in the studied population in both patterns, especifically in terms of three subscales of individual competency, trust in individual instincts, and positive acceptance of change and safe relationships. The t-test results related to independent samples were indicative of a significant difference between the two accumulated and limited displacement patterns in the psychological dimension. However, no significant difference was observed in the resilience of subjects in the two mentioned patterns regarding the economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Moreover, Pearson’s correlation coefficient showed no significant relationship between individual resilience and spatial resilience in both patterns.
