Abstract

Living in one place for years creates strong ties between people, their shared cultural heritage, and the place itself, hence providing both security and a sense of belonging. When people are forced to leave places that were once their homes, they experience the loss of these important connections and, consequently, they are becoming internally displaced persons (IDPs) within their homelands.
