Abstract Home buyout programmes are designed to permanently relocate households away from areas that are vulnerable to future hazards, though their impacts are not well understood. Among the least understood impacts of these programmes are those related to non-participating households located near buyout zones. Here, we present findings from a study of Oakwood, NY, a peripheral community that was impacted by a buyout programme in a neighbouring community. Drawing on qualitative data collected three-and-a-half years after Hurricane Sandy, we examine the experiences of affected households through the lens of Conservation of Resources theory. We find that residents of the peripheral community experienced a suite of losses associated with the implementation of the buyout, including losses in the physical environment that impacted their sense of safety, losses in conditions resources reflecting a perception that the government had failed to act in their best interests, and the threat of long-term financial losses associated with post-buyout land use decisions over which they had no control. Taken together, these losses contributed to an experience of stalled recovery that left residents in a permanent state of limbo. Policy implications related to the consideration of peripheral communities in the assessment and implementation of buyouts are discussed.

凌波：购房计划对周边社区的意外后果

摘要

购房计划旨在永久性地将家庭搬离易受未来灾害影响的地区，尽管对其影响尚不甚了解。这些计划的影响中，对最不了解的影响是与买断区附近的非参与家庭相关的影响。在这里，我们介绍了纽约州奥克伍德外围社区的一项研究结果受邻近社区的收购计划影响。利用飓风桑迪过后三年半收集的定性数据，我们通过资源保护理论的角度考察了受影响家庭的经历。我们发现，外围社区的居民在实施收购过程中遭受了一系列损失，包括影响其安全感的自然环境损失，条件资源损失，反映出人们认为政府没有采取行动。最佳利益，以及与收购后他们无法控制的土地使用决策相关的长期财务损失的威胁。综上所述，这些损失造成了停滞恢复的经历，使居民处于永久的居住状态。无人过问。讨论了与评估和实施收购中考虑外围社区有关的政策含义。
