Abstract

Abstract: This paper sets out a qualitative rapid research framework for designing and conducting field-based studies of the livelihood risks and opportunities (LRO) arising from involuntary displacement and resettlement. The 'livelihood risks and opportunities' framework combines insights from the 'impoverishment risks and returns' framework and the 'sustainable livelihoods' approach. This paper discusses the advantages of the LRO framework over other currently used qualitative and rapid research methods, and demonstrates its application through case studies of conservation-induced displacement in India.
