A Study on Applicability of the Recommendations of the World Commission on Dams

世界水坝委员会（WCD）是一个独立的国际组织，旨在制定和传播国际公认的大型水坝标准和规范。它发表了最后报告（丹麦妇女理事会报告），并于2000年11月解散。一些发展中国家的政府和大坝建设行业显然反对世界大坝委员会报告中提出的建议。WCD未能制定国际上可接受的标准。这项研究的目的是审查这些建议对真实的世界的适用性，以便使它们得到国际上的接受。这些建议是在报告的后半部分提出的，它们应该是以报告前半部分提出的事实调查结果为基础的。通过对报告的审查，这项研究发现，建议不一定是根据调查结果提出的。在此基础上，提出了使建议得到更广泛接受的可能替代方案。然后，针对在WDB报告形成过程中最具争议的问题--大坝受灾人口的非自愿重新安置问题，进行了两个案例研究，以提出一些改进建议。虽然需要进行一些更深入的个案研究，以提出有效的建议，但在这些个案研究中发现了一些良好做法。

World Commission on Dams (WCD) was an independent international body organized to develop and to disseminate internationally acceptable criteria and standards on large dams. It released its final report (WCD report) and disbanded in November 2000. Some governments of developing countries and dam construction industry apparently opposed the recommendations proposed in the WDC report. The WCD failed to establish internationally acceptable standards. This study aims in examining applicability of the recommendations to the real world in order to make them internationally acceptable.The WCD failed to present the recommendation well-grounded. The recommendations were presented in the second half of the report, and they were supposed to be based on the fact findings presented in the first half of that. Through the examination of the report, this study identified that the recommendations were not necessarily based on the findings. Based on this, this study presented possible alternatives to make the recommendations more widely acceptable.Then, two case studies were conducted in order to propose some recommendations regarding improvement of involuntary resettlement of the dam-affected people, which became the most controversial issue in the process of the WDB report formation : a case in Japan during the 1950s and a case of Kotapanjang dam in Indonesia. Although some more intensive case studies are required to propose effective recommendations, some good practices were found in these case studies.
