refugee is a person who, for fear of persecution, is outside his/her country of national origin and 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000 is unwilling or unable to return home. 5 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000 An internally displaced person, on the other hand, is persons who, for different 6 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000 reasons, have been compelled to leave their home and have been living outside their country 7 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,000 but not legally regarded as refugees, but mostly it is within their own country. 8 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Settlements should be a last choice because they have disadvantages. 9 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000 They are usually long term, associated with health problems, security issues, logistics 10 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:18,000 issues, and often political problems, and they impact on the local community. 11 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:28,000 Other options could be shelter in place or on site, shelter with friends, hotels or other 12 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:40,000 available buildings like schools, mobile feeding and outreach. 13 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Site selection issues are important in the settlement of displaced persons. 14 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 A number of factors affect this. 15 00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Ownership and rental, insurance, access, environmental issues, cross-cultural issues, and security. 16 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Criteria for selection of settlement areas include water availability, topography, surface 17 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:24,000 area, security and protection,

00:02:33,000 It is like running a small city. 21 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,000 It involves administration, site planning, reception and screening systems of incoming 22 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:53,000

of disasters that involve 26 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:27,000 mass displacement of people. 27 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Administration involves coordination and internal functions, external
