Abstract
The rationale for the study is outlined, briefly summarising the protracted nature of the displaced persons issue on the Thai–Myanmar border, the potential environmental impacts of the temporary shelters, notably the use of construction materials, the consumption of food and the production of various solid and water waste. Key research questions are posed, looking at actual impacts and consequences, and a variety of research techniques are used to analyse physical and behavioural impacts. Participative approaches are used to find out the views of both displaced persons and local communities who must share the resources.
