Because of the 36,000-hectare land concession in the Botum Sakor National Park granted by the&nbsp;Cambodian government to a Chinese company, more than 1,400 primarily fishing&nbsp;families have been relocated to new villages built inland, approximately 20 km from&nbsp;the coast. Using a case study research design, this paper provides a unique glimpse&nbsp;into the lives of those relocated by assessing their living conditions, livelihoods, food security, housing and access to basic services approximately four years after&nbsp;the relocation. The results show that those affected by the land concession are worse&nbsp;off than they were before the relocation and will likely remain so in the short to&nbsp;medium term. They have lost their livelihoods, their food and nutrition security have&nbsp;worsened, and their access to both health services and education is problematic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ijaps.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IJAPS-1412018_Art.-7165-189.pdf\">Download PDF<\/a>&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4052\" src=\"http:\/\/ijaps.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ijaps.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IJAPS_14_1-07.epub\">Download EPUB<\/a>&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4083\" src=\"http:\/\/ijaps.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/epub.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABSTRACT Land grabbing is a serious issue in Cambodia, where land concessions covered approximately 65 percent of the total arable land in 2013.
