对灾害周期的恢复阶段的认识仍处于初级阶段。最近的重大灾害，如飓风桑迪，表明现有政策和规划无法迅速恢复受影响社区的基础设施、住宅和商业活动。在这种情况下，彻底掌握住房恢复决策可以使投保人和政府官员进行有效的灾后规划。本研究的目的是整合插图和调查设计，研究家庭债券如何影响重建/搬迁后的决定桑迪飓风。采用多项逻辑回归分析，调查受访者在桑迪前的家庭结构，并探讨他们与家庭成员的关系是否在桑迪后发生了变化。该研究还探讨了上述关系及其变化对家庭重建/修复住房或搬迁计划的影响。这些结果进行了比较，以另一个多项式逻辑回归，这是适用于研究家庭债券的影响，受访者的建议，一个小插曲家庭重建和搬迁后，类似于桑迪飓风。结果表明，在桑迪之前与家人住在一起的受访者比独居者更不可能计划搬迁。更详细的研究表明，这种影响是由那些改善与家庭成员关系的人驱动的;那些没有改善家庭关系的人与独居者在重建/搬迁规划方面没有显着差异。那些改善与家庭成员关系的人也不太可能建议小插曲家庭搬迁。这项研究支持了一般假设，家庭债券减少搬迁的愿望，并提供了经验证据，家庭机制是重要的重建/搬迁决策过程。
Understanding of the recovery phase of a disaster cycle is still in its infancy. Recent major disasters such as Hurricane Sandy have revealed the inability of existing policies and planning to promptly restore infrastructure, residential properties, and commercial activities in affected communities. In this setting, a thorough grasp of housing recovery decisions can lead to effective post-disaster planning by policyholders and public officials. The objective of this research is to integrate vignette and survey design to study how family bonds affected rebuilding/relocating decisions after Hurricane Sandy. Multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate respondents’ family structures before Sandy and explore whether their relationships with family members changed after Sandy. The study also explores the effect of the aforementioned relationship and its changes on households’ plans to either rebuild/repair their homes or relocate. These results were compared to another multinomial logistic regression which was applied to examine the impact of familial bonds on respondents’ suggestions to a vignette family concerning rebuilding and relocating after a hurricane similar to Sandy. Results indicate that respondents who lived with family members before Sandy were less likely to plan for relocating than those who lived alone. A more detailed examination shows that this effect was driven by those who improved their relationships with family members; those who did not improve their family relationships were not significantly different from those who lived alone, when it came to rebuilding/relocation planning. Those who improved their relationships with family members were also less likely to suggest that the vignette family relocate. This study supports the general hypothesis that family bonds reduce the desire to relocate, and provides empirical evidence that family mechanisms are important for the rebuilding/relocating decision-making process.
