Many resettlement efforts have focused primarily on providing infrastructure and have done little to help displaced people and communities rebuild social structure, which has led to resettlement failures throughout the world. So what does it take to transform a resettlement into a successful community? This book offers the first long-term comparative study of social outcomes through a case study of two Honduran resettlements built for survivors of Hurricane Mitch (1998) by two different NGOs. Although residents of each arrived from the same affected neighborhoods and have similar demographics, twelve years later one resettlement wrestles with high crime, low participation, and low social capital, while the other maintains low crime, a high degree of social cohesion, participation, and general social health. Using a multi-method approach of household surveys, interviews, ethnography, and analysis of NGO and community documents, Ryan Alaniz demonstrates that these divergent resettlement trajectories can be traced back to the type and quality of support provided by external organizations and the creation of a healthy, cohesive community culture. His findings offer important lessons and strategies that can be utilized in other places and in future resettlement policy to achieve the most effective and positive results. 606 $aCommunity development$zHonduras 606 $aDisaster relief$zHonduras$xCitizen participation 606 $aDisaster relief$xSocial aspects$zHonduras 606 $aHurricane Mitch, 1998$xSocial aspects$zHonduras 607 $aHonduras$xSocial conditions 615 0$aCommunity development 615 0$aDisaster relief$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aDisaster relief$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHurricane Mitch, 1998$xSocial aspects 676 $a363.3492283097283 700 $aAlaniz$b Ryan$01491880 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795220303321 996 $aFrom strangers to neighbors$93713981 997 $aUNINA
