摘要

Natural gas and oil pipeline development projects have potentially resulted in safety and environmental impacts on Project Affected Persons (PAPs) on a global scale. Studies into resilience have given less attention to resilience strategies by people before full implementation of infrastructural development projects. This study examined the strategies for building resilience to an on-going construction of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) in Kabaale and Kiziranfumbi sub counties in Uganda, East Africa The social resilience theory was applied to examine the strategies to socio-economic threats by the PAPs and how these strategies vary among families and individuals that depend on land. A mixed methods approach, employing observations, surveys, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews to gather data from both sub-counties was applied. Purposive sampling was applied to select the two sub counties and the social groups to engage. A binary logistic regression was run to ascertain the impact of socio-demographic characteristics on resilience strategies. Analysis revealed that the marital status and the sex of the respondent predicted the resilience among PAPs, with women prioritizing access to healthcare and married individuals emphasizing the importance of family and friends. Women exhibit a stronger inclination to accessing medical care than men. Marriage fosters social resilience networks. The compensated PAPs in Kabaale view resilience as a means to adapt while the uncompensated PAPs in Kiziranfumbi view resilience as a mitigation mechanism against the EACOP threats. This study recommends the integration of marital status and gender aspects into community-driven resilience interventions towards infrastructure projects.
