From IFC (2009: 62), “hotspots” refers to “the likely destination/s of in-migrants that need to be protected from, and prepared for, an expected wave of project-induced in-migration”. In other words, consideration of hotspots needs both to predict where migrants are most likely to congregate , as well as what effect their presence will have for each locality.
The “Potential Hotspots” Excel provides a template
rubric for comparative analysis of unique and discernible geographic units
(i.e. the charted rubric could be used to examine differences between project-affected villages, between sub-districts, districts, and provinces, as well as to make international comparisons).
The implication of the accompanying “Hotspot Map,” is that it depicts the probability of in-migration to each existing village in the project CoW area (Sheet 2), based on some amalgam / value-ranking of the total set of indices that constitute the rubric (Sheet 1).
Potential Levels of Influx Impacts
High Easy access Abundant space available Good existing infrastructure (schools, health facilities, electricity, water, sanitation) Proximity to arrival point (port, jetty, airport, main road) Proximity to Project Land available for subsistence purposes Large consolidated population of similar ethnicity / religion Highly likely to be a recruitment location Proximity to similar projects (ANTAM, Solway, etc)
Medium Moderate access Some space available Some infrastructure exists Distant from arrival point Distant from the Project Limited land is available for subsistence purposes Moderate population of similar ethnicity / religion, consolidated or scattered Potential to be a recruitment location Distant from similar projects
Low Difficult access Very limited space available Little or no infrastructure Far from arrival point Far from the Project Little or no land is available for subsistence purposes Very low population of similar ethnicity / religion Not likely to be a recruitment location Far from similar projects
Close proximity to Project Space available Some infrastructure - schools, health Easy access - roads, port Proximity to arrival point - airstrip, port, road Subsistence land Muslim population Recruitment location
Provincial Capital City - growing infrastructure, government centre Presence of WBN Offices Presence of WBN logistics and sub-contractor accommodation Easy access - roads, port Proximity to arrival point - airstrip, port, road Subsistence land Mixed population Recruitment location Presence of other projects
Close proximity to Project Space available Some infrastructure - schools, health Subsistence land Muslim population Javanese & Lombok population - migrants will come to be with their families Recruitment location
