Since the construction of the Three Gorges Project was approved at the fifth plenary session of the seventh National People's Congress in April 1992, more than ten years have elapsed. This massive hydroelectric project, which will take a total of 17 years to be completed, is now at its peak stage of construction. Many scholars and experts have expressed concerns about the various problems resulting from its construction, such as siltation, other environmental impacts and resettlement. Among these, the resettlement problem is the most challenging. Based on over six months of investigation in the Three Gorges in 2001, and an overview of resettlement literature, this paper examines the development of the resettlement policy, planning, and challenges to the implementation of the resettlement plan. Focusing primarily on rural resettlement, and including data from case studies, it addresses the evolution and recent changes to resettlement policy and practice, and presents recommendations for the development of the resettlement work. Great strides have been made in effective implementation of resettlement policy and plans in China and the Three Gorges Project. However, constraints in the Three Gorges physical and economic environment continue to precipitate necessary change to resettlement policy and planning. New standards for displacement compensation must continue to be explored, and fuller participation of the displaced must be sought to avoid the social and economic risks of impoverishment in the Three Gorges.
