<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">2.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Positive and negative impacts of refugees on people and environments **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The burden of refugee and internally displaced person (IDP) flight falls upon the poorest countries. In 2010, 4/5 refugees were in a LEDC.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">According to UNHCR, in 2008 almost half of the global refugee population resided in cities and towns, compared to one third who lived in camps

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The impacts of the refugee presence are both positive and negative. From the moment of arrival, refugees may compete with local citizens for scarce resources such as water, food, housing, and medical services. Their presence increases the demands for education, health services, infrastructure such as water supply, sanitation, and transportation, and also in some cases, for natural resources such as grazing and firewood.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">We will use the 603 000 Rwandan refugees that fled into Tanzania by 1995 after the 1994 genocide as a case study. Tanzania has a long history of accepting migrants from all over Africa, and its population is known to be friendly and accepting of foreigners.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">As a class we completed brainstorm of how refugee camps can impact on the local communities and environment. There are also different impacts that affects refugees and host communities of urban refugees.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">� <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1. Complete the following activity by separating the 27 impacts into positive/negative and then by Social/Economic/Environment/Political factor and pasting into the correct column of the each table [|refugee impacts cut and paste.docx]

 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Australia Case Study – A Regional Response to Refugees **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Australia has a long history of accepting refugees for resettlement and over 700 000 refugees and displaced persons, including thousands during and immediately after World War II, have settled in Australia since 1945.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">People’s Responses to Refugees **

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Australian attitudes to refugees and asylum seekers since 1980s


 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Overtime there has been a gradual and general decline in sympathy for asylum seekers.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Support for skilled migrants has increased.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Suspicions for ‘boat people’ have risen.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">1980s/1990s – more support for refugees, less for skilled migrants taking ‘aussie jobs’
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Now – more support for skilled migrants (ageing populations, good unemployment), less support for refugee
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">There is general support that Australia should remain a multicultural society, and refugees have been positive (especially in terms of food, language and cultural diversity)
