Abstract Information collected from Focus Group Meetings (FGMs) and key informant interviews (KIIs) from Ramgati Upazilla of Lakshmipur District, Bangladesh, shows that once household members have lost their homes to riverbank erosion, they rarely migrate to distant places and stay in their immediate vicinity. The overwhelming majority of the victims rebuild their homes in nearby places on the lands of their relatives, friends, and neighbors, while some rebuild homes on government properties. This action is explained using the Community Capital Framework (CCF) and Place Attachment or Sense of Place concepts. The CCF asserts that overall resilience in the face of a disaster comes from focusing on the assets in place prior to the exposure to danger across multiple dimensions such as human, social, political, financial, built, natural, and cultural capitals. These capital assets overlap each other. For example, abundant natural capital can easily translate into financial capital, which, in turn, creates a strong set of built capital, if there is political capital to administer resources. The displaced people in the study area tend to remain in the local area because of strong ties to the surrounding communities and abundant natural resources in terms of availability of potential to re-establish river-based livelihoods, access fresh and formalin free fish and vegetables, and breathe pure air. Local people are known to generously provide free land for building homes, and displaced households often receive financial support from local and national governments. All these resources make for strong ties to the locality, and therefore survivors hesitate to move to distant unknown places.

使用社区资本框架和地方依恋概念解释流动性:孟加拉国下梅格纳河河岸侵蚀的案例研究

从来自孟加拉国拉克什米布尔区的 Ramgati Upazilla 的焦点小组会议 (FGM) 和关键知情人访谈 (KII) 收集的摘要信息表明,一旦家庭成员因河岸侵蚀而失去家园,他们很少迁移到遥远的地方并留在他们的近处。附近。绝大多数受害者在亲戚、朋友和邻居的土地上在附近地区重建家园,而一些受害者则在政府财产上重建家园。使用社区资本框架 (CCF) 和地方依恋或地方感概念来解释这一行动。CCF 断言,面对灾难的整体复原力来自于在多个维度(例如人类、社会、政治、金融、建筑、自然、和文化首都。这些资本资产相互重叠。例如,丰富的自然资本可以很容易地转化为金融资本,如果有政治资本来管理资源,金融资本反过来又会创造出强大的建成资本。研究区的流离失所者往往留在当地,因为与周围社区的紧密联系以及丰富的自然资源在重建河流生计、获得新鲜和无福尔马林的鱼类和蔬菜方面的潜力,呼吸纯净的空气。众所周知,当地人慷慨地提供免费土地用于建造房屋,流离失所的家庭通常会得到地方和国家政府的财政支持。所有这些资源都与当地建立了牢固的联系,
