Abstract: Abstract The complicated and uncertain character of megaprojects requires appropriate analysis of affected communities to achieve project objectives and accommodate megaprojects-induced internal displacement participation mechanism. Although previous scholarly works have contributed to the development of public participation theory, these theories have not been fully acknowledged from the affected community's perspective in practices, especially in megaprojects-induced internal displacement. In this study, an extensive literature review was conducted to get a general knowledge of the relationship between the willingness to participate and other prior key determinants. While no cohesive national governance strategy for megaprojects-induced internal displacement has been developed, the lack of recognition for the issue at the governmental level contributes to internal displacement risk creation, placing vulnerable communities at little or no influence on the process. Therefore, this study proposes a conceptual model of megaprojects-induced internal displacement that can be used to diagnose and assess willingness in community participatory research and practice. The findings will help academics and decision-makers be concerned about the key participation determinants to avoid ambiguity and disparity in understanding the adoption progress and status of community participation.
