Abstract:

Statewide study was undertaken in 1975 to understand issues surrounding displacement. Displacees from both urban and rural communities dispersed over a wide geographic area were studied and analyzed for social and economic effects of displacement. The results showed that less than one in five relocatees had negative feelings about the experience. Results also showed that the relocation program had served as a vehicle for renters to become homeowners, and original owners had upgraded their homes. A second study analyzed renter displacees from two standpoints: mobility and quality of current housing. A third study evaluated the use of a portable audiovisual system for use by right-of-way agents at public meetings. The results of these studies are briefly summarized.
