在过去的十年中，国际上在灾害和社会工作文献中探讨了社会资本，特别是在历史压迫和弱势社区有限的经济资源方面。然而，在美国，社会资本的融合程度较低。使用定性扎根的理论方法，我们通过社会工作的视角来考察不同类型的社会资本(联系、搭桥和联系)。我们研究了路易斯安那州新奥尔良卡特里娜飓风过后，社会资本如何在40个家庭的生活中运作。我们试图理解居民如何利用他们的社会资本在风暴中幸存下来，重新安置，并重建他们的生活和社区。结果表明，居民，特别是低收入者，为了个人、家庭和社区的生存，依赖、建立和崩溃了各级社会资本。与会者描述了一个过程，通过这个过程，紧密的联系(联系)对于立即的支持很重要，但桥接和连接社会资本提供了通往更长期生存和更广泛的社区和社区振兴的途径。本文还讨论了在灾难性事件发生后，将社会资本纳入社会工作如何能够加强或阻碍个人和社区的发展。
In the past decade, social capital has been explored internationally in the disaster and social work literature, particularly in terms of historical oppression and limited economic resources of disadvantaged communities. Social capital in the United States, however, has had less integration. Using a qualitative grounded theory approach, we examine the different types of social capital (bonding, bridging, and linking) through a social work lens. We examine how social capital operated in the lives of 40 families following Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana. We attempt to understand how residents utilized their social capital to survive the storm, relocate, and rebuild their lives and communities. Results indicate residents, especially those with low incomes, relied on, built upon, and collapsed all levels of socia capital for individual, family, and community survival. Participants described a process through which close ties (bonding) were important for immediate support, but bridging and linking social capital offered pathways to longer term survival and wider neighborhood and community revitalization. This paper also discusses how social capital inclusion in social work can strengthen or hinder individual and community development following a catastrophic event.
