Abstract: Abstract In recent years, some major unpredictable natural disasters frequently occurred in China, such as Wenchuan Earthquake. The process of post-disaster redevelopment is not only the necessary step of emergency response but also the national political responsibility. The redevelopment of Wenchuan Earthquake is “three years of redevelopment and basically completed in two years”, which is very successful from the political and city construction angle. However, the success of post-disaster redevelopment of Wenchuan Earthquake in certain degree includes the phenomenon of “culture lag”. The paper studies the reconstruction of victims’ psychological space and life inertia during the post-disaster redevelopment. The two reconstruction processes are the bridging of the culture lag process. The argument support is from authors’ field investigation in New Beichuan County and Dujiangyan city. Through the analysis of the reconstruction processes of victims’ psychological space and life inertia, the paper aims to do some exploration of seeking for some methods to shorten the process of bridging the culture lag during the speeding post-disaster redevelopment.
