摘要

We explore the relationship between livelihood resources, psychological assets, and risk management strategies among individuals displaced by hydropower projects. Using the sustainable livelihood framework, we examine how different livelihood assets influence psychological assets and, in turn, how these assets affect risk management strategies. The results indicate that access to natural assets (β = 0.146, p < 0.001), social assets (β = 0.131, p < 0.01), and cultural assets (β = 0.090, p < 0.05) positively influence risk management strategies by shaping psychological assets. Psychological assets have a strong positive effect on risk management strategies (β = 0.519, p < 0.001) and human assets (β = 0.636, p < 0.001), with the model explaining 46.1% of the variation in risk management strategies (R² = 0.461). Among coping strategies, reducing expenses (average = 3.40) and participating in foreign employment (average = 3.33) are the most common. However, no significant direct connections were observed between financial, informational, and human assets and risk management measures. These findings highlight the critical role of psychological assets as a mediator between livelihood resources and risk management. The study emphasizes the importance of psychological assets as the main pathway through which information and financial assets influence the adoption of risk management strategies among populations displaced by hydropower projects. Overall, the results deepen our understanding of the complex processes involved in hydropower displacement and underscore the vital role of psychological resources in enhancing resilience and well-being in affected communities.
