Background 0f the study

Internally displaced person’s (IDP’S) are people who have been forced to flee their homes but

who, unlike a refugee, remain within their country’s border. There is no legal definition as there

is for a refugee. However, a United Nation report, guiding principle on Internal Displacement

uses the definition as under. (Parwa,2006)

Internally displaced person are people or groups of people who have been forced or obliged to

flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order

to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violation of human

rights natural or human made disasters and who have not crossed an internationally recognized

state border. (Parwa, 2006).

The domination factor in such movement takes place within national borders. Unlike refugees,

who have been deprived of a protection of their state of origin, IDP’S remain under legal

protection of national authorities of their country. IDP’S should therefore enjoy the same rights

as the rest of the population. The guiding rules/principle on internal displacement remind

national authorities and other relevant actors of their responsibility to ensure that IDP’S

rights are respected and fulfilled, despite the vulnerability generated by their displacement.

Although all persons affected by conflict and human rights violation suffer, displacement from

one’s place of residence may make the internally displaced particularly vulnerable. (Manzoor,

2008)

Introduction

With the launch of military operation Zarb-e-Azb against militants in the troubled North

Waziristan agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) by Pakistan on Sunday 15th

June 2014 temporary migration/relocation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the area

of operation to safer locations has started.

The operation had resulted in the displacement of more than a million people, who had found

temporary accommodation in either state-run camps, rented houses or with relatives, mostly in

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

There were several problems which they faced. Hence, majority of them were migrated to

Bannu. That is why researcher will focus on Bannu a small town 115 miles southwest of

Peshawar.

The government of Pakistan launched counter insurgency operation against terrorist groups in

North Waziristan tribal agency. The operation impelled large scale displacement to adjoining

districts of Lakki, Marwart, Banu, Hanfu, Tank and Dera Ismail Khan. Large numbers of people

were forced to vacate their homes and they left behind valuable belongings such as furniture,

electronic, livestock or standing crops.

Since the 9/11 attacks in the United States in 2001, the tribal areas are a major theatre of

militancy and terrorism. Pakistan Army launched 10 operations against the Taliban since 2001,

most recently Operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan. The operations have displaced about

two million people from the tribal areas, as schools, hospitals, and homes have been destroyed in

the war.[On March 2, 2017, the federal government considered a proposal to merge the tribal

areas with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and to repeal the Frontier Crimes Regulations. However, some

political parties have opposed the merger, and called for the tribal areas to instead becomea

separate province of Pakistan (Wikipedia, 2007).

IDPS OF NARTH WARISISTAN

According to Hameed the government of Pakistan launched counterinsurgency operation against

terrorist group in north Waziristan tribal agency in 15 th june 2014.According to FDMA data the
total number internally displaced persons till the time registered with the authorities was

787,888.Moreover the total number of families counted was 62,493,including 211,549 male

and236,883 female member, while the number of children was 339,456, with every passing day

the number of IDPs increased. Untied Nation office for coordination of humanitarian affairs

(OCHA) issued data till 5th September 2014 as, the overall registered displaced population from

north Waziristan was 961,000 in number (Hameed, 2015).

Statement problem:

The study is to know about the problem of internally displaced people which they faces in their

everyday life socially and culturally. And to know about the perception of people toward them.

What they thing of them and how they behave with them. What kind of relationship they make

with them. These people faces many problem regarding to health, education, security,

employment and shelter. Which lead toward other different other social problems.

Objective:

1. To enhance the understanding of displacement dynamics.

2. To identify the short term and long term problems of internally displaced people.

3. To highlight why some people still stay in camps even after the military operation.

Research Question:

1. What are the social problems of IDPs?

2. How social problems effect the living condition of IDPs?

3. What are the responsibilities to assist IDPs?

Hypothesis:

Social problem negatively affect the social life of IDPs that lead them toward declined

Conceptualization:

Concept 1:

“as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence,

violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters, and who have not crossed an

internationally recognized State border”. (Wikipedia)

Concept 2: 

“Designating a person who has been forced to move within his or her own country as a

result of conflict, natural disaster, etc.” (Oxford dictionary).

Significant of the study:

Sociologists conduct research on various social issue and human phenomena. The goal of social

research is either to verify existing knowledge or a new body of knowledge with aim to improve

society.
 The current study is about to find out the role of government of Pakistan, Pak-army, NGO in the

rehabilitation activities of internal displaced people (IDPs), of north Waziristan. This study aims

to bring some clarity about government, Pak army, NGO role regarding to (IDPs), to add the

body of knowledge how the organization rehabilitates the IDPs of north Waziristan. The study is

also helpful in understanding the psychology and financial problems.

3. Methodology:

Research methodology provides students with a comprehensive overview of a broad range of

research paradigms and methodologies, with their ontological and epistemological

underpinnings, as well as associated methods and techniques, in order to inform the design of

methodologically sound research proposals and to develop their interdisciplinary methodological

literacy as future researchers.

DescriptiveResearch design

Research in which the primary purpose is to “paint a picture” using words or numbers and to

present a profile, a classification of types, or an outline of steps to answer questions such as who,

when, where and how.

Justification:

This research design is easy to use.It is easy to conduct. It is less time taking and help in

conducting a large number of knowledge from larger group with in less resources.

Research Methodology

Quantitative researches: the systematic empirical investigation of observable phenomena via

statistical, mathematical or computational techniques.

Justification:

The methodology I am conducting is quantitative research, as it is easy to conduct. It is less time

taking and help in conducting a large number of knowledge from larger group with in less

resources.
Universe:

Peshawar and Bannu IDPs campas

Justification:

It will be easy for me to conduct the research. As there are so many young girls or women in this

university and all of them have a great influence regarding to my topic.

Population:

A group of people that represent the feature of your research objective are called research

population.

100 to 110

Sampling technique:

There two types of sampling technique but for conducting quantitative research probability

technique. In this type I am using simple random sampling technique:

Simple random sample technique in which researcher creates a sampling frame and uses a pure

random processes to select cases so that each sampling element in the population will have equal

chance of being selected.

Sample size:

For quantitative research we used sample size formula, when population are known and

estimated.

N
Samplen= 2 population
H . N (e)
Research method:

Survey.

Examine and record the area and features of (an area of land) so as to construct a map, plan, or

description.

Research tool:

Questionnaire.

a set of printed or written questions with a choice of answers, devised for the purposes of a

survey or statistical study.
