Summary : Results showed that the level of satisfaction of RGC's resettlement policy was at a moderate level. The level of satisfaction of NGOs' strategies was at a high level. The perceived level of appropriateness of the IRR was at a moderate level. The level of satisfaction of sustainable livelihood in terms of increased income was positive for two-thirds of the re-settlers. This is because their business enabled them to expand livelihood activities inside and outside the village. This was negative for those who did not have land ownership. They relied on a single source of income and had a large household size to support. Increased community welfare services and resources, improved food security and reducing vulnerability were at a moderate level. This is because the relocated households are still in the process of building their skills and knowledge to help them develop more secure lives, cope with risks and adapt their lives successfully. Sustainable natural resources were perceived differently by the villagers. Among those with no land ownership, the top three indicators positively noted were environment-related while those with land ownership, land or space for crop and animal production was a major concern. The results had the strongest positive significant relationship at .01 and 0.5 level of significance between the level of satisfaction of livelihood of resettlement community and the assessment of IRR model, which addressed the eight risks. Almost all of the variables of IRR model influenced by the level of satisfaction of livelihood sustainability of resettled families when there is increase in income, community welfare services and resources and sustainable natural resource base.
