Abstract
The Wonorejo Dam project involuntarily relocated many families from the dam site. These resettled individuals opted to move into surrounding villages rather than to follow the transmigration scheme put in place that would have taken them beyond Java Island. Although the former residents were moved involuntarily, many of them are found to be content with their current situation and conditions. The findings of this study may help appropriate authorities enhance their social responsibility and evaluate their respective resettlement programmes.
