儿童的地方感对于在社区或地方的福祉、发展和归属感很重要。在英国布里斯托，VIP-CLEAR（流行病中的声音-儿童的封锁体验应用于恢复）项目使用创造性方法和重复参与来捕捉儿童在社会弱势城市环境中的COVID-19大流行的经历。本研究的重点是在6-11岁儿童的学校中进行的两个阶段的“深度绘图”活动的结果，以考虑儿童在这个时候的地方感。儿童的地图显示了他们的流动性是如何被限制在家里和/或成人控制的，循环路线的功能性任务，而不是儿童为导向的探索。关键地点-包括学校、家庭住宅和公园-被断开连接，突出显示为“缺席”地点，儿童被排除在外。这些地方被赋予了意义，由于前COVID的做法，感官体验，和/或他们与有价值的人的关系。随着大流行缓解措施的放松，儿童地图显示出社区和非必要活动的联系越来越多，能见度也越来越高。随着地点的变化，现有社会不平等的扩大变得明显。在这两个阶段中，地方感不断发展，数字和自然空间（通过动物）显示出儿童增加实践和与地方联系的潜力。强烈的地方感可能会支持适应变化，本文有助于有限的研究如何儿童的地方感是动态的，改变与波动的社会和环境条件，如缓解全球大流行病。研究结果对未来涉及儿童的恢复规划的影响也被考虑。
Children’s sense of place is important for wellbeing, development and belonging in a community or place. The VIP-CLEAR (Voices in a Pandemic – Children’s Lockdown Experiences Applied to Recovery) project used creative methods and repeat engagement to capture children’s experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic in socially disadvantaged, urban settings, in Bristol, UK. This paper focuses on findings from the two-phased ‘deep mapping’ activity conducted in schools with 6–11-year-olds to consider children’s sense of place at this time. Children’s maps showed how their mobility was restricted to the home and/or adult-controlled, looped routes for functional tasks rather than child-directed exploration. Key locations - including school, family houses, and parks - were disconnected and highlighted as sites of ‘absence’, where children were excluded. These places were given meaning due to pre-COVID practice, sensory experience, and/or their relationship with valued people. As pandemic mitigation relaxed, children’s maps showed increasing connections and greater visibility of the community and non-essential activities. As places changed, the amplification of existing social inequalities became apparent. In both phases, sense of place evolved and digital and natural spaces (through animals) showed potential for children to increase practice and connections with place. A strong sense of place may support adaptation to change, and this paper contributes to limited research on how children’s sense of place is dynamic, altering with fluctuating social and environmental conditions, e.g. mitigation of a global pandemic. The implications of findings on future recovery planning involving children are also considered.
