RAPID Exploring Design Implementation Buyout

项目摘要

This Rapid Response Research (RAPID) project examines how local government agencies develop, design, and implement home buyout programs in the United States. Home buyout programs are intended to permanently reduce vulnerability from disasters by relocating residents away from areas that are prone to repeated hurricanes, flooding, or other hazards. Buyouts are typically funded by the federal government but implemented by state, county, or municipal agencies. How these programs are designed, communicated to the public, and carried out determines whether they achieve their purpose of mitigating against future disasters. Currently, however, local government agencies frequently struggle to implement buyouts because guidelines are unclear and there is an absence of agreed, well-founded practices for this type of program. Even with this limitation, buyouts are increasingly considered the best solution for improving the future for communities that experience repeated disasters. This scientific research contribution thus supports NSF's mission to promote the progress of science and to advance our national welfare with benefits that will inform planning to improve the resilience of United States communities, in particular to flooding. This project is funded through the RAPID grant mechanism to examine the home buyout program currently in process following the severe 2017 flooding in Harris County, Texas, which includes the city of Houston. This project examines at the micro level, the critical processes in the initial phases of post-disaster home buyout programs, examining decisions and outcomes in Harris County, Texas. This project uses semi-structured, qualitative interviews with government stakeholders and affected residents, observational data, and content analysis of internal and public program documents to address two key theoretical questions identified in the literature. First, it will further the understanding of the nature of buyout programs, as they are designed as mitigation programs and perceived as such by government agencies, but implemented in the time-compressed recovery period and viewed by residents as vehicles of recovery. Secondly, it will contribute to the literature on post-buyout land use and management by examining how implementing agencies plan to reintegrate buyout properties into public ownership and use.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个快速反应研究（RAPID）项目研究了地方政府机构如何在美国开发，设计和实施房屋收购计划。房屋买断计划旨在通过将居民从容易反复发生飓风、洪水或其他危险的地区搬迁出来，永久性地减少灾害的脆弱性。收购通常由联邦政府资助，但由州、县或市政机构实施。这些计划如何设计、如何向公众传达以及如何执行，决定了它们是否达到了减轻未来灾害的目的。然而，目前，地方政府机构经常难以实施买断，因为指导方针不明确，而且这类计划缺乏商定的、有充分依据的做法。即使有这一限制，收购越来越被认为是改善反复遭受灾害的社区未来的最佳解决方案。因此，这一科学研究贡献支持了国家科学基金会的使命，即促进科学进步和增进我们的国家福利，并将为规划提供信息，以提高美国社区的复原力，特别是对洪水的复原力。该项目通过RAPID赠款机制资助，以审查德克萨斯州哈里斯县（包括休斯顿市）2017年严重洪水后目前正在进行的房屋收购计划。本项目在微观层面上研究灾后房屋收购计划初始阶段的关键过程，研究德克萨斯州哈里斯县的决策和结果。该项目使用半结构化，定性访谈与政府利益相关者和受影响的居民，观察数据，以及内部和公共程序文件的内容分析，以解决文献中确定的两个关键理论问题。首先，它将进一步了解买断计划的性质，因为它们被设计为缓解计划，并被政府机构视为缓解计划，但在时间压缩的恢复期内实施，并被居民视为恢复工具。其次，它将有助于收购后的土地使用和管理的文献，通过检查执行机构计划如何将收购财产重新纳入公共所有权和使用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
