- Abstract
Though Kerala coast was considered as a safe zone as far as Tsunami hazards are concerned, the impacts of the Tsunami in 2004 were felt all along the coast of Kerala. The Tsunami caused deaths, damages, injuries and also made thousands of people homeless. A total of 2.8 lakhs persons were evacuated and accommodated in 290 relief camps across the various coastal regions. Fishermen communities were the most affected segment. The focus of this article is the people's participation in Housing Tsunami Rehabilitation Programme implemented for the victims of Asian Tsunami in 2004 at Alappadu Panchayath of Kollam district, Kerala. In post Tsunami phase housing reconstruction was one of the big challenges. Therefore, the Government devised a project for reconstruction using both own fund and with support of the civil society organisations. Thus affected people were rehabilitated in new places by constructing the houses both by the Non-Governmental Organisations [NGOs] and Government Organisations [GOs] in a phased manner. This study is intended to explore the participation of the stakeholders and its impact on that housing rehabilitation project. The article based on the field level study is analysing the interplay between people's participation and Social capital in a wider but specific frame of various related components.
