This article aims to examine the contribution of personal and environmental resources to the sense of belonging to the community among postforced eviction communities. The study included 140 participants who experienced forced eviction, and ranged in age from 20 to 79 years. Slightly more than half were women (52.4%, 74). Nearly half of the participants continued living alongside their fellow community members, while others left for different communities. The participants filled out self-report questionnaires assessing their sense of belonging, social and family support, sense of mastery, and self-esteem. We used 2 complementary instruments: the stepwise regression and the mediation model. Results indicated that the level of social and family support was found to be higher in the unified communities. Lower levels of the sense of belonging were found in the split communities. The sense of mastery was found to positively contribute to the sense of belonging. The self-esteem resource was not found to contribute to the sense of belonging, whereas social and family support was found to positively contribute to the sense of belonging. The mediation model presented an interesting finding insofar that an indirect positive association was found regarding the sense of belonging via social support within different types of communities. The discussion refers to the findings and their contribution to both theory and practice.
本文旨在探讨个人和环境资源对被迫搬迁社区归属感的贡献。研究对象包括 140 名经历过被迫搬迁的参与者，年龄在 20 岁至 79 岁之间。略多于一半的参与者为女性（52.4%，74 人）。近一半的参与者继续与社区成员一起生活，而其他一些人则搬到了其他社区。参与者填写了自我报告问卷，评估他们的归属感、社会和家庭支持、掌控感和自尊。我们使用了 2 种互补的工具：逐步回归和中介模型。结果表明，在统一社区中，社会和家庭支持的水平较高。在分裂社区中，归属感水平较低。掌控感对归属感有积极的贡献。自尊资源对归属感没有贡献，而社会和家庭支持对归属感有积极的贡献。中介模型提出了一个有趣的发现，即不同类型的社区中，通过社会支持，归属感与社会支持之间存在一种间接的积极关联。讨论涉及到这些发现及其对理论和实践的贡献。
