Emergency displacement is a widespread phenomenon impacting all facets of life and increasing rates of psychological trauma. This article analyzes the effects of shared residency among evacuated and fragmented communities, focusing on social and communal disparities in temporary shelters. By adopting theoretical perspectives of community building and social capital, it describes interventions aimed at promoting resilience within newly formed shelter communities. A qualitative study was conducted in temporary housing shelters in Israel during wartime. The study included four focus groups with 31 professionals and an analysis of recent emergency protocols. Professional interventions following displacement into temporary evacuation centers create a new reference community, "the shelter community." These mobilizing interventions include establishing volunteer emergency teams, strengthening community cohesion, and fostering community participation in renewed daily routines. Community building interventions in temporary housing shelters can foster personal and community empowerment following disasters worldwide.
紧急撤离是一种普遍现象，影响着生活的方方面面，并导致心理创伤发生率上升。本文分析了疏散和分散社区中共同居住的影响，重点关注临时避难所中的社会和社区差异。通过采用社区建设和社会资本的理论视角，本文描述了旨在增强新形成的避难所社区恢复力的干预措施。战时在以色列的临时住房避难所进行了一项定性研究。该研究包括四个由31名专业人员组成的焦点小组，并对近期的应急预案进行了分析。流离失所进入临时疏散中心后的专业干预措施创建了一个新的参照社区，即“避难所社区”。这些动员性干预措施包括组建志愿者应急小组、加强社区凝聚力以及促进社区参与恢复日常活动。临时住房避难所中的社区建设干预措施可以在全球范围内的灾难后促进个人和社区的赋权。
