Here so urces of information are primary and seco ndary sources. By employing a simple random sampling method 5 kebele's are selected and a total of 86 households' heads selected in undertaking the household survey. Further more, data for the measurement of forests was collected using rectangular plots (50m*50m). In addition, the impact of resettlement program on food security and environment is evaluated by implementing the " before and after evaluation technique". According to this study, by using resettlement intervention, govemment seems achieved food security for the major resettler households. More specificall y, the productivity and production level of the origin and the resettlement areas are compared, and the result showed th at, th e annual per house hold mean crop production and the rate of livestock possession in the resettlement area has exceeded across all years to the original physical production. This implies that resettlers are better off in the resettlement area. However, on the other hand, when we see the environmental sustainability concern on the other side, however, government seems giving low attention. As a result of the resettlement program in the woreda (11 kebelle' s) a total of 11 ,504,579 .5 trees are lost. Furthernlore, the loss of forest in tellllS of volume (biomass) as a result of the program has amounted to 24, 278, 27,488.23cm3 | en_US |
