2.2. Alternatives of resettlement minimization
In order to minimize the resettlement, several alternatives were discussed and evaluated during the
joint meetings with the employees of Municipal Development Fund of Georgia and Dusheti
Municipality (Figure 2).
Alternative 1: the benches should be arranged 20-25 m from the project zone for 24 APs where
they could run business.
Alternative 2: 24 APs would be able to place their benches in the area adjacent to the project zone,
along the rehabilitation road and on the both sides of the path running to the Ananuri Complex.
Alternative 3: the 24 APs would have the possibility to place the trading benches in the area
indicated in the drowing below (figure 2).
Alternative 4:The 24 APs would have the possibility to place the trading benches in the area
indicated in the drowing below. (near the same area where the PAP’s are located before project
implementation);
Alternative 5: the 24 APs would have the possibility to place their trading benches in the area
indicated in the drowing below (figure 2).

Both, at the social study stage and at the personal meetings, it was clear that 100% of affected
persons asked for maintaining their present jobs. Consequently, the first criterion when
considering the alternatives was the maintenance of the jobs for al PAPs:
Only after solving this problem, we were guided by the following criteria when considering
the alternatives:
1.
Traffic safety.
2.
Maintaining the present project design to the maximum degree possible.
3.
Demonstrating the visual properties of the Ananuri Complex.
As in Chapter 2.1, mention the land plots in the south of the design zone (number 1, 2 and 3)
officially hired by traders standing here. Consequently, additional PAPs can not be transferred on
this territory.
With consideration of all criteria above – safety, visual impacts, original design, as well as
profitability of economic activities for vendors - Alternative 3 is deemed most appropriate.
The final decision regarding the cho
sen Alternative will be made by considering the PAPs’ views
and in agreement with the representatives of Dusheti Municipality and project design team..
