resettlements
Forced community movements
Resettlements are instances of moving people to new locations, typically after displacement by war, disaster, or policy.
The term often appears in discussions of refugee programs or forced relocations: The resettlements of displaced families took months to coordinate.
It can also describe voluntary moves to new areas: government-sponsored resettlements in frontier territories.
