Nam Theun 2（NT2）水电项目使17个村庄和1298户家庭的6738人流离失所。本研究以四个移民村为研究对象。进行了家庭访谈，以了解更多关于生活条件的变化，传统和文化的那些村庄，独立搬迁相比，搬迁合并的老村庄在一起。案例研究表明，大多数重新定居者希望完全与自己的村民在一起。然而，由于安置区土地和资源稀缺，不可能每个村庄都有自己的安置地点。因此，在新开发的移民村中，一些村庄与其他村庄合并。另一方面，与老挝其他类似项目相比，NT 2项目为移民提供了上级补偿。然而，NT2项目没有足够的土地资源来满足移民的农业需求，因此造成了这样一种情况，即当项目结束对移民的支持时，那些村庄的生计将无法持续。
The Nam Theun 2 (NT2) hydropower project displaced 6738 people from 17 villages and 1298 households. This research focuses on four resettlement villages. Household interviews were conducted to learn more about variations in living conditions, traditions and culture in the villages that were relocated independently compared to villages in which relocation had merged older villages together. The case study suggests that most resettlers wanted to remain exclusively with their own village members. However, it was impossible for every village to have its own resettlement location given the scarcity of the land and resources in the resettlement areas. As a result, some villages were merged with other villages in the newly developed resettlement villages. On a different note, the NT2 project provided superior compensation for the resettlers when compared with other similar projects in Laos. However, the NT2 project had insufficient land resources to satisfy the agricultural needs of the resettlers and thus created a situation where the livelihood of the villages will not be sustainable when the project concludes its support for the resettlers.
