Resettlement and Social Integration of Migrants in the Three Gorges Reservoir

Abstract

The implementation of the Three Gorges Project has enabled millions of residents in the reservoir area to be resettled. After years of policy implementation, significant results have been achieved, and immigrants have generally integrated into the new settlement environment. Immigrant integration has become a microcosm of China's social structural transformation. With the rapid development of the socio economy and the acceleration of urbanization, China is facing a transition from a traditional rural society to a modern urban society. This article delves into the issues of resettlement and social integration of immigrants in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, aiming to analyze how large-scale water conservancy project immigrants adapt to the new environment and achieve social integration in the face of the modern transformation of China's social structure in the new era, including the process, challenges, and strategies. Therefore, the following suggestions are proposed: establish and improve a policy system that is compatible with the transformation of social structure; Improve the social security system and enhance the level of social security; Implement regional coordinated development strategy; Promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries; Implement more proactive employment policies; Improve the level of public services.
