SGER: The Social Fabric Under Stress. Baton Rouge's Explosive Growth after Hurricane Katrina

压力下的社会结构卡特里娜飓风过后，巴吞鲁日的爆炸式增长弗雷德里克·韦尔、爱德华·希哈德、马修·李、路易斯安那州立大学摘要卡特里娜和丽塔飓风使数十万人流离失所，其中许多人疏散到附近的城市和社区。 相对于其人口规模而言，巴吞鲁日接收的撤离者可能是最多的;根据一些估计，在大约40万人口的基础上增加了多达25万人，其中相当一部分人预计将长期或永久留在那里。 这项研究调查了这种涌入对巴吞鲁日社会结构造成的压力。 然后，它在之前的年度社区调查的基础上，开发了一个小组样本，该样本从飓风前的春天开始，并将在飓风发生后的一年中持续三波。 该研究的重点是社会资本，社区参与，连接和信任的影响，对一系列的结果，包括信任或指责当局，公共政策的偏好，对犯罪的恐惧，压力和/或乐观的感觉，对疏散人员的态度，和组间关系，特别是种族关系。 鉴于事件的严重性，PI期望测量否则难以检测的影响。 这项研究涉及社会学、政治学和犯罪学的核心问题。 研究人员还为当地政府和民间，宗教，救济和经济组织提供他们可以在决策中使用的调查结果。 这项活动建立在与这些领导人的持续关系之上：市长在过去四年中参加了PI的简报会，PI为领导人和社区团体提供了许多简报、概况介绍和政策简报。

The Social Fabric Under Stress. Baton Rouge's Explosive Growth after Hurricane KatrinaFrederick Weil, Edward Shihadeh, Matthew Lee, Louisiana State UniversityAbstractHurricanes Katrina and Rita displaced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, and many of them evacuated to nearby cities and communities. Baton Rouge received perhaps the largest share of evacuees relative to its population size; as many as a quarter million added to a population base of about 400,000, according to some estimates and a substantial number of them are expected to remain long-term or permanently. This study investigates the strains on Baton Rouge's social fabric posed by this influx. It then builds on previous annual community surveys, and develops a panel sample that began the spring before the hurricanes and will continue for three additional waves over the course of the year following the event. The study focuses on the impact that social capital, community involvement, connections, and trust, has on a range of outcomes, including trust or blame of authorities, public policy preferences, fear of crime, feelings of stress and/or optimism, attitudes toward the evacuees, and intergroup relations, especially race relations. Given the magnitude of the event, the PIs expect to measure effects that are otherwise difficult to detect. The study addresses central concerns of sociology, political science, and criminology. The researchers also provide local government and civic, religious, relief, and economic organizations with findings they can use in their decision-making. This activity builds on on-going relationships with these leaders: the mayor has attended the PIs' briefings for the last four years, and the PIs have provided leaders and community groups with numerous briefings, fact sheets, and policy briefs.
