灾难环境中的人道主义工作者报告说，基于性别的暴力（GBV）急剧增加。 2010 年海地地震后就是如此，当时妇女和女孩失去了家园和家人的相对安全。来自美属维尔京群岛和美国大陆的研究人员对此做出了回应，与海地同事合作制定了以性别暴力为重点的战略。首先，研究团队进行了情境分析，以确保该项目在文化、道德和后勤方面都是适当的。本文的目的是描述情境分析框架如何帮助研究人员有效地接近这个社区。以海地地震后为例，我们确定了进行态势分析的关键步骤、障碍和促进因素。障碍包括物流、基础设施、语言和社区因素。协调人包括知名专家、组织和机构。在这种情况下，研究人员需要尊重社区成员作为专家，并对当地的环境和文化条件保持耐心。
Humanitarian workers in disaster settings report a dramatic increase in gender-based violence (GBV). This was true after the 2010 Haiti earthquake when women and girls lost the relative security of their homes and families. Researchers from the United States Virgin Islands and the United States mainland responded by collaborating with Haitian colleagues to develop GBV-focused strategies. To start, the research team performed a situational analysis to insure that the project was culturally, ethically, and logistically appropriate. The aim of this paper is to describe how the situational analysis framework helped the researchers effectively approach this community. Using post-earthquake Haiti as an exemplar, we identify key steps, barriers, and facilitators to undertaking a situational analysis. Barriers included logistics, infrastructure, language and community factors. Facilitators included established experts, organizations and agencies. Researchers in such circumstances need to be respectful of community members as experts and patient with local environmental and cultural conditions.
