摘要

Inward FDI inflow is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide, particularly in the context of regional collaboration and financial stability to enhance healthcare, educational possibilities, employment opportunities, and quality of life. The construction of mega infrastructure projects under these initiatives is crucial for the nation’s sustainable development. Community displacement resulting from mega infrastructure projects raises significant questions regarding the welfare of individuals subjected to project-associated relocation and resettlement processes. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of the five goals of the BRI, namely development coordination, infrastructure development, unimpeded trade, financial cooperation, and cultural exchange, as independent variables, while social well-being and psychological well-being are the dependent variables, along with one moderator: age in the project-affected communities of the Dasu Hydropower Project (DHPP) in Pakistan. In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 424 respondents from five villages (kaigh/Gul-e-Bagh, Sigloo, Chuchang, Khushi, and Barseen). The researchers examined the age of respondents as a moderating factor that play a role in people’s well-being. Development coordination, infrastructure development, unimpeded trade, financial cooperation, and cultural exchange indicate that they play a significant role in improving the level of social and psychological well-being. The moderator age does, not play a significant role in the relationship between infrastructure development and cultural exchange and social well-being and unimpeded trade and financial integration to psychological well-being, while age as a moderator plays a significant role in resettlement welfare. Through an in-depth examination of the understood variables, this research study will generate a subtle insight into the drivers that form the basis of well-being in resettlement communities under the CPEC Initiative. This study also aims at offering reports that could be used in the development of policies aimed at nurturing the development of strong and successful resettlement communities.
