项目摘要
This planning visit, led by Carleen Maitland of Pennsylvania State University, University Park, will scope the technical, information sharing, and organizational requirements for an integrated security information system for use in refugee camps. The collaboration includes co-PIs Elizabeth Belding from the University of California, Santa Barbara and Brian Tomaszewski from the Rochester Institute of Technology working with Nijad al-Najdawi from Al-Balqa' Applied University in Jordan. This planning effort will begin with the Za'atari Camp for Syrian refugees in northern Jordan. This research project will address important technical design constraints that can be applied to a variety of systems, working first with the particularly challenging constraints of a refugee camp with limited infrastructure, complex organizational networks, and a population of shell shocked residents who are unfamiliar with their physical environment, services providers, and one another. The research resulting from this visit will generate design recommendations for rapidly deployable integrated information systems which will: develop the parameters to use wireless mesh networks to establish new approaches to location identification, prepare GIS data analyses and visualizations that can meet the needs of a variety of organizations and user skill levels, and evaluate mechanisms for sharing security-related information between groups with different concerns such as police, UN personnel, NGOs and residents themselves. The planning visit includes important meetings with camp governance, humanitarian and aid organizations, and with refugee community organizers. Security is a significant problem in many environments but particularly challenging in refugee camps due to the lack of infrastructure and the information-sharing challenges stemming from security being a joint responsibility of the United Nations and the host government. This effort will develop design constraints for a system that could be applied to other refugee camps as well as to other environments. The technical components of this intra-camp system will consist of a wireless mesh network, augmented with cellular network functionalities, integrated with a geographic information system (GIS). The platform will enable information sharing by security personnel, humanitarian service providers and residents. The platform will be tested with information generated by a specially designed concealed weapons detection system, developed by the Jordanian collaborator, Dr. Nijad al-Najdawi from Al-Balqa' Applied University. The key intellectual contribution of the resulting work will be the design and deployment insights gained from overcoming the infrastructural and organizational challenges inherent in the refugee camp setting.This research will help to foster human security in a variety of contexts where emergencies such as natural disasters and violent conflicts lead to people living in environments with limited infrastructure, focusing first on the millions of people living in refugee camps. Two U.S. graduate students will be involved in this planning visit and in subsequent research efforts, providing an exciting opportunity for international, interdisciplinary research early in their careers. This research represents a new research trajectory for all four of the researchers involved, although complementary to their existing expertise. The planning visit may also lead to educational modules for undergraduate and graduate courses that will expose other students to discipline-specific examples that provide an international context for their studies.
这次规划访问由大学公园宾夕法尼亚州立大学的卡琳梅特兰领导,将确定在难民营使用的综合安全信息系统的技术、信息共享和组织要求。这项合作包括来自加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的联合PI Elizabeth Belding和来自罗切斯特理工学院的Brian Tomaszewski,以及来自约旦Al-Balqa应用大学的Nijad al-Najdawi。这一规划工作将从约旦北方的扎塔里叙利亚难民营开始开始。该研究项目将解决可应用于各种系统的重要技术设计限制,首先是基础设施有限,组织网络复杂的难民营的特别具有挑战性的限制,以及不熟悉其物理环境,服务提供商和彼此的居民。这次访问的研究结果将为可快速部署的综合信息系统提出设计建议,这些系统将:开发使用无线网状网络的参数,以建立位置识别的新方法,准备GIS数据分析和可视化,以满足各种组织和用户技能水平的需求,并评估在警察、联合国人员、非政府组织和居民本身等不同关切群体之间分享安全信息的机制。规划访问包括与难民营治理、人道主义和援助组织以及难民社区组织者举行重要会议。在许多环境中,安全是一个重大问题,但在难民营中尤其具有挑战性,因为缺乏基础设施,而且安全是联合国和东道国政府的共同责任,因此信息共享面临挑战。这项工作将为一个可适用于其他难民营和其他环境的系统确定设计限制。这一营地内系统的技术组成部分将包括一个无线网状网络,加上蜂窝网络功能,并与地理信息系统相结合。该平台将使安全人员、人道主义服务提供者和居民能够共享信息。该平台将用约旦合作者、Al-Balqa应用大学的Nijad al-Najdawi博士开发的一个专门设计的隐蔽武器探测系统产生的信息进行测试。由此产生的工作的主要智力贡献将是从克服难民营环境中固有的基础设施和组织挑战中获得的设计和部署见解,这项研究将有助于在各种情况下促进人的安全,例如自然灾害和暴力冲突等紧急情况导致人们生活在基础设施有限的环境中,首先关注生活在难民营中的数百万人。两名美国研究生将参与这次规划访问和随后的研究工作,为他们职业生涯早期的国际跨学科研究提供了一个令人兴奋的机会。这项研究代表了所有四位研究人员的新研究轨迹,尽管与他们现有的专业知识互补。规划访问还可能导致本科和研究生课程的教育模块,将使其他学生接触到特定学科的例子,为他们的研究提供国际背景。
