Tommy Joe Otto and Dr Omedo Vincent

Abstract:
The study focused on the Bugangaizi displacement plan as a case study to examine the impacts of internal migration and relocated people on the management and utilization of land in Kakumiro District. Its objectives included determining the economic and social risks to land usage, the impact of rehabilitation on the Bugangaizi community, and the procedures that are now in place for efficient land management under the Bugangaizi Rehabilitation Scheme. According to the results, 75% of the people polled generally disapproved that Bugangaizi uses clear rehabilitation criteria. This shows that there is no harmonica-related policy or structure in place at the federal level. In the survey, 12.1% of respondents disapproved, and 12.3% were undecided. It should be highlighted that relocation has a secondhand effect on both land deterioration and rainforest. Because of this, the state of the land has been impacted in the research region by unexpected and unregulated forest cutting and changes to the land's cover.
