了解如何促进分裂社会中各群体之间更好的社会关系对于建设和平工作至关重要。基于大量的群体间接触理论和日常多元文化的研究，本研究旨在探讨如何在北方爱尔兰的贝尔法斯特，分裂的社会青年，在日常的城市空间的经验，社会互动。招募了10名16-18岁的青年（n= 2名新教徒女性，1名新教徒男性，4名天主教女性，2名天主教男性和1名混合宗教背景的男性）参加研究。每天的接触经验进行了探讨，使用photovoice，一种参与性的方法。在参与了一系列摄影研讨会和任务后，青年参加了焦点小组讨论，后来又参加了步行采访（n= 3），讨论影响他们社会交往的因素。揭示了五个主要主题，解释青年接触经验的背景下：地理和社会经济的限制空间使用;基于群体的空间认知，情感和行为;生活经验和社会话语;标识;和群体间规范。总的来说，调查结果突出了关键的个人和结构过程，通过这些过程，来自不同社区背景的年轻人使用或不使用公共空间。研究和实践的影响，促进群体间的接触与和平，在社会分裂的社会进行了讨论。
Understanding how to promote better social relations between groups in divided societies is vital for peacebuilding efforts. Building on the substantial body of research on intergroup contact theory and everyday multiculturalism, the present research aimed to examine how youth in the divided society of Belfast, Northern Ireland, experience social interactions in everyday urban spaces. Ten youth aged 16–18 (n= 2 Protestant females, one Protestant male, four Catholic females, two Catholic males, and one mixed religious background male) were recruited to take part in the research. Everyday contact experiences were explored using photovoice, a participatory method. Following engagement with a series of photography workshops and tasks, youth took part in focus group discussions and later, walking interviews (n= 3) to discuss the factors that influence their social interactions. Five main themes explaining youth contact experiences in context were uncovered: geographical and socioeconomic constraints on space use; group-based spatial cognitions, emotions, and behavior; lived experience and social discourses; markers of identity; and intergroup norms. Taken together, findings highlight key individual and structural processes through which public spaces become used or not by young people from different community backgrounds. Implications for research and practice for promoting intergroup contact and peace in socially divided societies are discussed.
