This paper documents the culture-specific understanding of social capital among Haitians and examines its benefits and downsides in post-disaster shelter recovery following the 12 January 2010 earthquake. The case study of shelter recovery processes in three socioeconomically diverse communities (Pétion-Ville, Delmas and Canapé Vert) in Port-au-Prince suggests that social capital plays dual roles in post-disaster shelter recovery of the displaced population in Haiti. On the one hand, it provides enhanced access to shelter-related resources for those with connections. On the other hand, it accentuates pre-existing inequalities or creates new inequalities among displaced Haitians. In some cases, such inequalities lead to tensions between the haves and have-nots and instigate violence among the displaced.
本文记录了海地人对社会资本的特定文化理解，并探讨了其在 2010 年 1 月 12 日地震后的灾后避难所恢复中的利弊。通过对太子港三个社会经济背景不同的社区（佩蒂翁维尔、德尔马斯和卡纳普·维特）的避难所恢复过程进行案例研究，表明社会资本在海地流离失所者的灾后避难所恢复中发挥了双重作用。一方面，它为有关系的人提供了更多获得与避难相关的资源的机会。另一方面，它加剧了海地流离失所者之间原有的不平等，或者在他们之间制造了新的不平等。在某些情况下，这种不平等导致了贫富之间的紧张关系，并在流离失所者中引发了暴力。
