Title: VERSO L’INCERTEZZA DELL’ABITARE. LE SOLUZIONI ABITATIVE DI EMERGENZA NEL POST-DISASTRO DELL’APPENNINO CENTRALE (2016-2017)
Abstract: Far beyond the physical consequences of the impact, a socio-natural disaster raises important issues about the territories and the affected population’s future, mainly if it involves marginal areas such as those of the central Apennines, hit by a long seismic sequence between 2016 and 2017. Proper housing emergency management, capable of offering timely and adequate responses in the immediate emergency, above all in the medium-long term, is both a challenge and a crucial point for any post-disaster policy. This research proposes an analysis of Soluzioni Abitative di Emergenza (SAE) as the institutional response to the housing emergency caused by the 2016-2017 earthquakes: temporary and prefabricated houses installed in the municipalities affected by the disaster, which will offer housing to the displaced population until the end of the reconstruction. Through ethnographic methodological tools and discursive interviews, the research investigates temporary and emergency living and highlights that the relationship between the inhabitants and space, especially the domestic one, is complex, articulated and sometimes contradictory.
