Résumé
La transition de la cabane aux établissements humains formels peut être très traumatisante. Cela signifie abandonner les vieilles habitudes, les modes de vie, les relations et en créer de nouvelles. La nature et l’étendue de la cohésion sociale prévalant dans cette communauté détermineront dans quelle mesure ceux qui ont été réinstallés dans de nouveaux quartiers s’ajusteront et s’adapteront à de nouvelles formes de vie en communauté. Un manque de cohésion sociale au sein des communautés réinstallées la rend vulnérable à diverses formes de désorganisation sociale se traduisant par une variété de problèmes sociaux. L’étude s’est appuyée sur 150 entretiens avec des répondants sélectionnés dans les différentes circonscriptions de la localité de l’étude à l’aide d’une technique d’échantillonnage non probabiliste. Dans le cas de Mt Moriah, un établissement humain officiel, cela fait plus de dix ans que des résidents de plusieurs établissements de cabanes de la ville ont été réinstallés dans cette localité. Il ressort de l’étude que les habitants du mont Moriah ont fait des heures supplémentaires pour s’adapter à la vie communautaire et familiale et jouissent d’un fort sentiment de cohésion sociale, en dépit des nombreux défis liés à la prestation de services et à l’émergence de problèmes sociaux. Cette étude souligne qu’un nombre important de membres de la communauté ont un sentiment d’appartenance à la localité et aspirent à améliorer leur qualité de vie.
