refugee settlement
Asylum seekers' encampment
A refugee settlement is a designated area where people displaced by war, persecution, or disaster are housed, often more permanent than a camp.
Settlements typically include basic infrastructure and allow residents some self-sufficiency: The refugee settlement grew into a small city over the decade.
The term also describes the process of placing refugees in such locations or in host communities.
