2-1- Introduction
The research in Prochea Thom is only focus on the qualitative research, Focus Group
Discussion (FGD) and Semi structure interview (SSI). We also think about quantitative research too (HH survey) but we don't have enough time to achieve that purpose. To conduct the qualitative data the research team did interview with 39 respondents. For the FGD with WPC we did discussed with 3 group of WPC, and 2 group of VHR (1 Male & 1 Female).
The information of this research also help to provided us about what NPA done so far in the resettlement site, and what is the purpose of the resettle people in that new village, and also why is that village name Prochea Thom and who is give that name?
The tools for collected this information such as SSI and FGD were developed by research unit, alls that tool have been use for collecting data at BTKC, but now we update base on the lesson learn from BTKC and use in Prochea Thom village.
2-2- Time frame
If we compare with BTKC resettlement site with Prochea Thom resettlement we can see
that Prochea Thom resettlement is bigger than BTKC. In BTKC are only 211 families but in Prochea Thom are 1998 families. We took around 2 months and half to work in Prochea Thom village. This duration is include review the questionnaire, discuses with VDC in that area, and transcribed.

He done a lot of thing in that resettlement site and he share with us on good information that is good to write this initial report.
2-5- Selection of target village
Prochea Thom is the third of resettlement that implemented by NPA. It is base on the lesson learn from the other two (BTKC and O bey Joun). First resettlement and Second resettlement are both clear the mine before settle the people, but Prochea thom is the third resettlement but not clear the mine because no mine in that soil, but the other two resettlements NPA needs to spend a lot of money to clear the mine before resettle the people.
The research team tries to selected the third resettlement to study before second settlement because the third resettlement is only in one place (only one village) but the second resettlement are more village that NPA did resettle the people. The research team decided to finish the third first and after that RT will finish the second resettlement later.
2-6- Selection of target groups
Base on in Prochea Thom village are much more families, but the random selection we only selected 39 families to interviews. There are ten clusters that NPA divided in that resettlement, and in each cluster we only selected 3 - 4 families, some time the household that we already point out to interview but when we arrived their they are not at home or that plot they abandon, after that research team try to selected the other plot that close to that plot for interview.
For FGD we only interviewed with WPC and VHR because we found that there are only that two committee are still working. When the setup the committee in that resettlement, NPA setup more committee than that, but up to now most of the committee are not working. Total WPC member in each cluster is 25 members, but when we did the FGDs are only 8 - 10 members that they involved in the group discussion.
VHR they are quite active in the community, because now they got support from other NGOs that working in the area. Total of VHR in the village is 20, because they are two members in each cluster, but now are only 14 members still working in the community, and the other four they got the job outside the village and some people they busy with their own work.

The research in BTKC also the one lesson learn that we can revised our SSI questionnaires, and also the lesson learn that we can communicated with all the people at the resettlement site. The information from SSI it's more useful that much more describe about their personal information, their occupation and income generation, their land management, etc.
