| Outline of Research at the Start |
This project will clarify how local communities use key urban sites for building peace in war-torn cities. Using the case of Marawi City in the Philippines, it will employ visual and spatial documentation and focus group discussions. The results will inform urban peacebuilding research and practice.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using visual documentation, GIS mapping, and key informant interviews, the researcher systematically examined the physical and symbolic transformation of selected urban sites in post-conflict Marawi City in the Philippines. Through this project, a conceptual framework that combines both local and urban perspectives will set a research agenda for future research on post-conflict cities. The research results can also inform future studies on how to integrate visual and spatial considerations when analyzing various components of peacebuilding. The results also have policy implications for national and local governments, non-governmental organizations, and aid donors on how to consider the social use (and potential misuse) of urban spaces for post-conflict reconstruction. The results of this project have been presented at an international conference and will be published in two research articles, opinion editorials, a publicly accessible geoportal, and a short video documentary.
