abstract: There is a mismatch between theories on disaster planning that emphasize the importance of social engagement in recovery processes, and the actual implementation of it in practice. This thesis focuses on the role of social engagement in the recovery process of Christchurch, New Zealand, after the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Although there are good aspects of the recovery process of Christchurch, many people argue that the process has a too much top-down character and that their commitment and willingness to engage is not encouraged sufficiently. As a result of this study, it appears that governments should organize their engagement activities based on the context, which is dependent on the different stages of a post-disaster transition. Social engagement should be integrated in post-disaster recovery processes in order to create resilient places and communities, because it is important that people feel they are part of the journey towards their future city.
