“…They were waiting for the legal status of the site, which was contested by the owners who were seeking compensation, to be sorted out. Haiti's land ownership system is highly complex and it is often hard to understand who owns a piece of land given the various historical and legal twists, both formal and informal, it has been subject to (Oriol, Dorner 2012).

This article demonstrates the limits of the camp as a place to live from the point of view of displaced people: what is a camp for those who live inside? Why not envisage the camps as central place, where life is going on with, or without, the humanitarian help? It studies the differences between two different settlements created after the 2010 earthquake. One has been formally set-up by NGOs but has ended up being abandoned by the humanitarian organizations due to troubles with the inhabitants. The other is a spontaneous settlement that has absorbed populations from other camps, and is today in a working condition organised informally by inhabitants themselves. In the first case, experiences of community and belonging of the post-earthquake population seems have been frustrated; in the second case, these sentiments could be an explanation of the informal forward projection. Thus, they pass from a liminal statement to a central perception. The monographic approach permits to understand the dynamics and the identitarian background of the installation in the camps.
