目的 - 房屋买断计划通常由联邦政府资助并由当地机构实施。这些机构如何设计和实施收购对参与家庭和社区具有相当大的影响，因此了解实施机构的内部流程成为收购研究的重要组成部分。本研究通过探索飓风哈维之后德克萨斯州哈里斯县买断计划的早期设计和实施阶段来解决这个问题。设计/方法/方法 - 通过对买断工作人员和政府利益相关者进行半结构化访谈收集数据。使用扎根理论方法和整体编码分两个阶段分析数据。调查结果——关于收购在缓解和恢复中的作用，存在相当大的紧张关系。参与者将买断概念化为缓解计划，但认识到，相比之下，居民将买断视为家庭恢复的工具。 研究局限性/影响 - 这项研究增加了文献中提出的关于买断和其他为应对灾害和全球气候变化而实施的搬迁工作的有效性的问题。未来的研究应致力于建立有关买断的设计、实施以及对受影响家庭和社区的影响的系统知识。 实际影响 - 买断目的的紧张可能是导致买断实施中持续存在缺陷的原因，包括消耗、棋盘式和风险转移。买断的资金、时机和规模与家庭恢复需求和优先事项不一致，限制了买断的缓解潜力。 原创性/价值——这项研究确定了买断计划目的中的一个基本矛盾，这一矛盾尚未在文献中讨论。
Purpose - Home buyout programs are typically funded by the federal government and implemented by local agencies. How these agencies design and implement buyouts has considerable impacts on participating households and communities, making understanding the internal processes of implementing agencies a critical component of buyout research. This study addresses this issue by exploring the early design and implementation phases of a buyout program in Harris County, Texas, following Hurricane Harvey.Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with buyout staff and government stakeholders. Data were analyzed in two phases using grounded theory methodology and holistic coding. Findings - There was considerable tension regarding the role of buyouts in mitigation and recovery. Participants conceptualized buyouts as mitigation programs, but recognized that residents, in contrast, viewed buyouts as a tool for household recovery.Research limitations/implications - This study adds to questions raised in the literature about the efficacy of buyouts and other relocation efforts implemented in response to disasters and global climate change. Future research should work to build systematic knowledge regarding design, implementation, and impacts of buyouts on affected households and communities.Practical implications - Tension in the purpose of buyouts may be the cause of consistent shortcomings in buyout implementation including attrition, checkerboarding, and transfer of risk. Funding, timing, and the scale of buyouts do not align with household recovery needs and priorities, limiting the mitigation potential of buyouts.Originality/value - This study identifies a fundamental tension in the purpose of buyout programs that has yet to be discussed in the literature.
