根据仙台框架，UKRI GCRF水与火研究项目旨在与开普敦Cape Flats地区三个脆弱社区的居民共同开发知识，以产生适应性解决方案，加强对干旱，洪水和火灾爆发等环境灾害的恢复能力。为了实现这一目标，研究小组采用了家庭调查和参与式视觉方法，包括数字故事（DST），社区地图和三个受影响社区的居民的照片语音。本文重点验证DST方法在“水与火”项目中的应用，并询问DST过程如何符合六种类型的有效性，即参与性，主体间性，催化性，情境性，伦理性和移情有效性的指导下，国际合作组织的健康研究（ICPHR）。25个数字故事的总体主题的弹性产生的25个海角公寓residents.We建议，参与效度是通过参与者做出决定的故事和细节，他们想要分享。通过社区咨询成员参与DST过程设计，通过与参与者共同概念化弹性和评估DST经验，促进了主体间效度。当参与者在共享学习空间中筛选他们的数字故事，以传达他们如何在众多社区和政策参与活动中应对灾害和与灾害共存时，就实现了催化有效性。上下文的有效性得到了满足，探讨影响开普平原社区的相关环境灾害。通过创造安全和支持性的空间，实现动态的知情同意，并将数字故事的所有权转移给故事讲述者，实现了道德有效性。通过集体分享个人灾害经验、吸取的教训和适应性战略将参与者联系起来，培养同理心。我们建议用调查和焦点小组讨论等其他研究方法补充DST方法，同时评估DST流程和利益相关者参与活动的变革潜力，以实现更好的催化有效性。我们倡导在多利益相关方参与活动中与弱势社区以及利益相关方和法定机构采取合作和包容的方法。我们的结论是，数字故事是在气候变化适应能力的背景下与脆弱社区共同生产知识的有效和有效的渠道，因为这些方法为受影响的社区创造了提出关切和分享经验的机会。
Aligned to the Sendai framework, theUKRI GCRF Water and Fireresearch project aims to co-produce knowledge with residents of three vulnerable communities in the Cape Flats area of Cape Town to generate adaptive solutions that strengthen resilience against the environmental disasters of drought, flooding and fire outbreaks. To achieve this aim, the research team employed household surveys and participatory visual methods including digital storytelling (DST), community mapping and photovoice with residents of three affected communities. This paper focuses on validating the DST method used in the ‘Water and Fire’ project and interrogates how well the DST process conforms to six types of validity, namely, participatory, intersubjectivity, catalytic, contextual, ethical and empathic validity as guided by the International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research (ICPHR). Twenty-five digital stories on the overarching theme of resilience were produced by 25 Cape Flats residents.We suggest that participatory validity was achieved through participants making decisions about the stories and details they wanted to share. Intersubjective validity was fostered by involving community advisory members in DST process design, through co-conceptualizing resilience with participants and by evaluating the DST experience. Catalytic validity was achieved when participants screened their digital stories in shared learning spaces to convey how they respond to and live with disasters at numerous community and policy engagement events. Contextual validity was met by exploring relevant environmental disasters affecting the Cape Flats communities. Ethical validity was attained by creating safe and supportive spaces, enabling dynamic informed consent and transferring ownership of the digital stories to the story tellers. Connecting participants through collective sharing of individual disaster experiences, lessons-learned and adaptive strategies fostered empathy.We recommend complementing DST methods with other research methods like surveys, and focus group discussions, while evaluating the transformative potential of the DST process and stakeholder engagement events, to enable better catalytic validity. We advocate for collaborative and inclusive approaches with vulnerable communities alongside stakeholders and statutory bodies in multi-stakeholder engagement events. We conclude that digital stories are an effective and valid conduit for knowledge co-production with vulnerable communities in the context of climate change resilience as these methods create opportunities for affected communities to raise their concerns and share their experiences.
