ABSTRACT

Since 1960’s until now, there are numerous cases of unwanted immigration because of large-scale land development projects led by governments in Korea. Although land developers have granted compensations for indemnity and supplementary living allowance to them, immigrants are still suffering from the radical changes of their residential environment. From this perspective, this research was to analyze how seriously the life satisfaction of their life has been negatively influenced by forced immigration using SEM(Structural Equation Model) and AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). Through this analysis, we reached a conclusion that ‘economic factors of immigrant’ is the most important factor influencing rather then ‘physical facilities of house’ and ‘social connectedness’. Thus, the current compensation system for forced immigrants needs to be revised in accordance with the concept of restoring the quality of life, which already is practiced in some advance countries.
