Abstract
Implementation of group homes often come up against the “Not in My Back Yard” (NIMBY) phenomenon. In order to better understand this phenomenon, this pilot study examines the experience of community residents in three borough where opposition to the implementation of group homes was encountered. Results reveal the underlying reasons for this problem as well as explore the negative impact of the presence of such group homes in the community. Finally, the author concludes that listening to citizens and acknowledging their concerns are essential to developing greater acceptance and a better support towards group homes.
Resumen
La implantación de hogares se encuentra con frecuencia con lo que llamamos el fenómeno “no en mi patio trasero”. A fin de comprender mejor este fenómeno e identificar la fuente, este estudio piloto examina la experiencia de los residentes de las colonias en las que se ha manifestado una oposición a la implantación de dichos hogares. Los resultados permitieron identificar las razones subyacentes, además de explorar el impacto negativo de la presencia de dichos hogares en la vida de la comunidad circundante. Por último, la autora concluye que escuchar al ciudadano y reconocer sus inquietudes es esencial para una mayor aceptación y un mejor apoyo de la comunidad hacia dichos hogares.

Os resultados permitiram determinar as razões subjacentes, além de explorar o impacto negativo da presença de tais residências na vida da comunidade local. Finalmente, a autora conclui que a consulta ao cidadão e o reconhecimento de suas preocupações são essenciais para uma maior aceitação e um melhor apoio da comunidade em relação a estas residências.
