The document discusses integrating social cohesion into community housing in transitional recovery settings. It provides social cohesion profiles of two villages, Manikkamadu and Nallathanniali. For Manikkamadu, it notes that the Hindu Tamil-speaking residents have faced harassment from security forces and lived under Muslim and Sinhalese administration. It identifies absent planning, visionary individuals, and community structures as barriers to social cohesion. It recommends stabilization measures like effective communication between communities and services providers, and confidence building through meeting community needs for security, livelihoods, and infrastructure.
