长期以来，灾害研究人员一直在分析受影响居民的本体安全受到的破坏，这些安全通常由日常生活和熟悉的地标来表示。然而，令人惊讶的是，这项工作很少评估谁最有可能体验到破坏感。使用一组具有代表性的调查数据，辅以后续访谈数据，从受南部阿尔伯塔洪水2013年6月的40名居民，本文探讨了人口特征，如性别和地方依恋，影响居民的破坏感和损失。研究结果表明，妇女和与社区有更强情感和社会联系的人最有可能经历本体安全的破坏;房屋洪水和疏散命令也是重要的预测因素。定性访谈数据显示，许多参与者感到不安，并受到各种因素的干扰，如正在进行的建设，这使他们无法建立一个“新常态”。本文最后讨论了这些研究结果对政策制定者和服务提供者的影响。
Disaster researchers have long analysed disruption to affected residents' ontological security, often represented by routines and familiar landmarks. Surprisingly little of this work, though, assesses who is most likely to experience feelings of disruption. Using a representative set of survey data, complemented by follow-up interview data from 40 residents affected by the Southern Alberta Flood of June 2013, this paper explores how demographic characteristics, such as gender and place attachment, impact on residents' sense of disruption and loss. The findings indicate that women and people with stronger emotional and social ties to their neighbourhoods are most likely to experience disrupted ontological security; home flooding and evacuation orders are also significant predictors. The qualitative interview data reveal that many participants felt unsettled and disrupted by myriad factors, such as ongoing construction, which prevented them from establishing a 'new normal'. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for policymakers and service providers.
