Security / Insecurity Group Definition

By Christian Nold • Jul 10th, 2008 • Category: Security Group

QUESTIONS:

What does security or insecurity means in the local context? What are people’s local fears? Is it really about the drug dealing or about jobs or whatever? Who is creating these feelings of security or insecurity? Are the planned developments going to help with this? Are there particular groups being targeted in the local area? Are the local allotments under threat? What do the local newspapers say about these issues? Do the local shops have a different opinion from the local residents? Are there differnces of opinion? How can we visulise these differnces?

Method

1. COLLECT: get an insight into main issues of concern of users and residents of the area

2. VISUALISE: visualise  the main issues

3. ANALYSE: use the visualisation to identify ways in which future development will affect these issues

4. PROPOSE: propose improved ways of addressing the main issues

OUTCOMES:

A final visualisation that:

1 Gives an insight into your process

2 Communicates your insights clearly to our project partner as well as the local residents and a broader intersted audience
