Abstract
This article seeks to understand neighborhood change induced by natural hazards in the context of neighborhood change dynamics. Based on the underlying systematic mechanism of neighborhood change, it suggests conceptual and methodological models in which a natural hazard, as a “transient, exogenous shock,” affects neighborhood change trends over time. The models also consider that natural hazards alter neighborhoods differentially according to their basic characteristics. After a natural hazard, two factors exogenous to neighborhoods, physical damages and rehabilitation process, are important to understand the rebuilding process and the shift in the neighborhood change pattern.
