摘要 华盛顿特区的巴扎德角 (Buzzard Point) 是首当其冲的城市环境不公正社区。由于多源污染和缺乏环境设施，居民被剥削和淹没，为进一步发展让路。该项目使用 Photovoice（一种社区参与的研究方法）让居民在识别社区健康危害方面拥有发言权。本文强调的方法针对课堂项目进行了修改，但仍然产生了放弃和绝望的重要主题。这些发现反映了 Photovoice 的其他工作，这些工作已在城市和农村环境中用于识别累积的健康危害和建筑环境中的有害元素。这个照片之声项目是赋予居民权力、让立法者关注他们的困境以及就该市可以采取哪些改革来改善社区的身体和环境健康展开对话的第一步。
Abstract Buzzard Point in Washington, DC, is a neighborhood facing the brunt of urban environmental injustice. Through pollution from multiple sources and a lack of environmental amenities, residents have been exploited and drowned out to make way for further development. This project used Photovoice, a community-engaged research method, to give residents a voice in identifying the health hazards in their communities. The method highlighted in this article was modified for a classroom project, but still yielded important themes of abandonment and hopelessness. These findings mirror other works with Photovoice, which have been used in both urban and rural settings to identify cumulative health hazards and harmful elements of the built environment. This Photovoice project serves as a first step in empowering residents, bringing attention to lawmakers of their plight, and initiating a dialogue on the reforms the city can adopt to improve physical and environmental health in the community.
