The extent of the Mauka Area redevelopment called for by Chapter 206E, HRS, will require construction of additional public facilities and utilities as well as the redevelopment of land uses. Therefore, a certain degree of relocation, whether temporary or permanent, is necessary to facilitate such renewal. Relocation is defined as a move, resulting from a publicly caused displacement, and re-establishment of the displaced household or business at a new location.
Relocation can be a direct or indirect consequence of displacement.
Displacement is any direct or indirect action, public or private, which forces households or businesses to move as a result of the acquisition, or imminence of acquisition, of real property. It may be either temporary or permanent. In temporary displacement, the households or businesses may return to the neighborhood or the Mauka Area after revitalization is completed. Households or businesses permanently displaced, although desiring to do so, may not return to their original sites. Privately caused displacements may result from private demolition and new construction, private rehabilitation projects, and evictions due to rising market prices and rents.
