La relocalisation des familles victimes de catastrophes naturelles à Port-au-Prince

This essay deals with the relocation of populations affected by natural disasters in Haiti, and focuses on the precarious living conditions before and after disasters. Five cases are analyzed, including two before the earthquake of January 12, 2010 and three after. These cases are select-ed not only from a comparison across cases but in a perspective of anal-ysis between the situation before and after the catastrophe which has definitely contributed to a reconfiguration of the neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince.
