Kaoh Chbar (also transliterated Koh Chbar) is a village in Kaoh Khnhaer Commune, Sambour District, Kratie Province, Cambodia. It lies on the Mekong river ==History== The village of Kaoh Chbar originally consisted of five households living on a small island in the Mekong River.〔Kin, p. 2, 4.〕 The name Kaoh Chbar, meaning "island with plants" in Khmer, was given because of the crops that residents planted on the island.〔 From 1945 to 1953, the Khmer uprising against the French disrupted village life as villagers migrated between settlements to escape violence.〔 Five households migrated from Kampong Kuy and Okreang to settle in Kaoh Chbar.〔 In the years following Cambodia's independence, village life was challenging.〔Kin, p. 4.〕 Villagers lacked food, and clothing was made from old sacks.〔 Cholera and chicken pox were common.〔 By 1962, Kaoh Chbar's population had grown to 38 households.〔 With little space on the island, villagers resettled by the riverbank, where the village remains today.〔 During the early 1970s, farming and fishing became impossible due to American bombing during Operation Menu, and villagers faced starvation.〔 In 1975, Kaoh Chbar's population increased as Cambodians were forcibly resettled from towns and cities by the Khmer Rouge.〔 Under the Khmer Rouge, labor was forced. Individual ownership was abolished, and all agricultural production belonged to the community.〔 Villagers were moved from one village to another.〔 In 1979, the village consisted of 30 households.〔 During the early 1980s, Kaoh Chbar's population increased to 80 households.〔 The water level of the river was high, and fish and wildlife were abundant.〔 In the late 1980s, the village's population increased to 90 households.〔 Land ownership reforms were important at this time.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaoh Chbar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
