Disasters affect sociospatial links in a dynamic and unstable meshwork of aspects that are reconfigured. In this sense, accounting for this complexity is central to analyze the transformation of the sociospatial linkage of the affected people and communities. Addressing from community environmental psychology, we propose the concept of assemblage to guide a situated reading of subjective, material, and community aspects present in a reconstruction process after a disaster. Following a qualitative methodology, using spatially referenced narrative interviews (n = 16) and thematic analysis, it is described how these links are presented in a community that lived the mega-fire of a part of the city of Valparaíso in Chile. The results describe that the experience of being a community is a variable flow within a process defined by an ever-emerging configuration of spatial, technological, personal, social, and sensory characteristics. We conclude by pointing out the qualities of the communities when considered from an assemblage perspective.
灾害以动态和不稳定的方式影响社会空间联系,其中涉及到许多方面,这些方面会不断重新配置。从这个意义上说,考虑到这种复杂性对于分析受灾人群和社区的社会空间联系的转变至关重要。从社区环境心理学的角度出发,我们提出了组合的概念,以指导对灾后重建过程中存在的主观、物质和社区方面进行情境化解读。采用基于空间的叙述性访谈(n=16)和主题分析的定性方法,描述了这些联系在智利瓦尔帕莱索市部分地区遭遇特大火灾的一个社区中是如何呈现的。研究结果表明,作为一个社区的体验是一个变量流,处于一个由空间、技术、个人、社会和感官特征不断涌现的配置定义的过程中。最后,我们从组合的角度指出了社区的特点。
