The most common word is resettlement

the transportation of people (as a family or colony) to a new settlement (as after an upheaval of some kind).

But note that word normally focusses on the people who are moving in. If the focus is on the area becoming occupied with new people, go for repopulation

The act of repeopling; act of furnishing with a population anew.

If you are focusing on the transfer of ownership that you mention in the title of this post, why not just use land redistribution or redistribution of land (which you allude to in your question)? This focuses more on the ownership of the land than on the people, but that's what was asked. If you wish you could put a descriptor with it, such as unfair land redistribution, discriminatory land redistribution, hasty land redistribution, or whatever.
