对于接受永久重新安置的难民来说，重新安置环境的特点影响到他们从移民前的迫害中恢复过来并获得幸福感的能力。本民族志研究探讨了与地点有关的决定因素对在小城市中心重新安置的难民所经历的幸福感的影响。本文报告了在加拿大圣约翰对10名前难民进行的深入访谈的结果。我们发现，挑战和应对资源都来自城市的相同方面，包括其建筑环境，自然环境，历史，文化和低种族多样性。今后的研究应注意重新安置环境的各个方面如何能够同时挑战和支持难民的幸福感。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
For refugees who undergo permanent resettlement, characteristics of the resettlement context influence their ability to heal from pre-migration persecution and achieve a sense of wellbeing. This ethnographic study examines the impact of place-related determinants on the sense of wellbeing experienced by refugees resettled in a small urban center. The paper reports on the results of in-depth interviews that were conducted with ten former refugees in St. John's, Canada. We found that challenges and coping resources both emerged from the same aspects of the city, including its built environment, natural environment, history, culture, and low ethnic diversity. Future research should attend to how aspects of the resettlement context can simultaneously challenge and support refugees' sense of wellbeing. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
