Abstract: From the standpoint of a new human-nature relationship approach in geography, the article argues that the mass displacement/relocation of population in the Three Gorges area is essentially a combination of social,economic, and environmental issues.During this process the society should maintain a good relationship with the natural environment and within itself. Farmers to be relocated should not be shifted into the already overloaded traditional agriculture sector.Instead,some newly appeared and created environment like the increased water area,industries like tourism, job opportunities like labor output,and the newly formed social and economic development zone in the growing new towns should play a main role in absorbing the population. Currently when the 9th Five Year-Plan and the long-term plan till 2010 are being considered by the central gevernment, the artical suggests that it is just the time for the related departments to work out a well-organized social and economic development plan for the whole reservoir area.
