老挝人民民主共和国是东南亚最贫穷的国家之一。然而，它有很大的水电开发潜力，老挝政府计划在湄公河的支流上建造大量的水电大坝。正在修建这些水坝的地区包括Bolaven高原，这是该国主要的咖啡生产区，居住着22 000个小农户（其中15 000个生产咖啡），分布在每个40至300户的小村庄。本文描述了因建坝而搬迁的农民的态度。在因两座大坝而流离失所的社区进行了实地调查：Huay Ho大坝于1997年完工，而Kemkatam大坝在2009年初进行实地调查时计划在不久的将来开工。通过比较这些不同的社区，作者研究了那些面临未来搬迁的人的态度，期望和看法，以及搬迁后13年的困难和应对策略。
The Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) is one of the poorest countries in South East Asia. Yet it has great potential for hydropower development, and the Government of Laos plans to build a large number of hydroelectric dams on the tributaries of the Mekong. Among the areas where these dams are being built is the Bolaven Plateau, the country's main coffee-producing region, inhabited by 22,000 smallholder households (15,000 of which produce coffee), distributed in small villages of 40 to 300 households each. This paper describes the attitudes of the farmers displaced due to the construction of dams. Fieldwork was carried out in communities displaced by two dams: the Huay Ho, completed in 1997, and the Xe Katam, whose construction, at the time of the fieldwork in early 2009, was planned to start in the near future. By comparing these different communities, the authors look at the attitudes, expectations and perceptions of those faced with future relocation, as well as the difficulties and coping strategies of those relocated, 13 years after they were resettled.
