Prek Chik was formerly the front line between the government and former Khmer Rouge guerillas. Most of the landmine contamination now is on land intended for irrigation, which was used as a buffer zone for both warring parties during the conflict. Once conflict subsided, former residents of the area began to return. Their attempts to resettle, though, are hindered by the presence of landmines.

This area is near the Cambodian-Thai border. The mine contamination on the existing road is the result of three decades of conflict. The mines prevent the villagers from having access to the rich soil in the area, which is invaluable for agriculture. The landmines remain a threat for both villagers and livestock in the area.

Andoek 11 village is surrounded by a forest and is located in Ratanakmondul district in Battambang province, 45 kilometers southwest from the provincial town. Nearly 110 families (548 people) live in the village. From 1984 and 1996, thousands of mines were laid to keep military garrisons out. Between 1997 and 2002, four people were injured and three animals were killed. Plans to develop the area have been halted due to the presence of the mines and UXO. Demining this area will allow for the resettlement of 18 landless families and enable construction of a nearby road.
