Doris Kokutungisa Ishenda, Shi Guoqing

Abstract
Relocation or resettlement is an alternative to provide opportunities for people who live in slums where the occupation of the land is illegal or who live in a disaster-prone environment to reorganize and continue their lives in a new place. This study evaluates and assesses the success of the implementation of the relocation program carried out on the Bengawan Solo Riverbank. The evaluation conducted in this study is a summative evaluation. From an economic perspective, the relocation program carried out on the banks of the Bengawan Solo had no impact in terms of improving the economic conditions of the relocated community. The relocation program is thus considered unsuccessful in improving the economy of the relocated community.
