Hypothesis
The generic hypothesis is that the two groups in the two observations
present differences in terms of the identity principles, place attachment,
use of space and coping mechanisms.
- In the first moment the group that choose to return to the
Liberdade neighbourhood (group 1) will present a reduced
interaction with the new residents and weak identity and
attachment to the new neighbourhood, and a low residential
satisfaction in comparison with the group2.
- In the second moment the group1, will present a stronger
identity, attachment to the environment, a strong social
interaction to the neighbours and a high residential satisfaction
in comparison with the group 2.
- In the comparison between the first and the second moment it is
expected that both the groups present a stronger identity and
attachment to the place and neighbours, and a high residential
satisfaction in the second moment.
- In the two moments both groups will present different strategies
of coping with the situation.
