This project investigates the role of landscape and planning in creating long-term solutions for the prevention and mitigation of domestic violence and violence against women. Domestic violence is a significant barrier to the economic and social development of women, families and communities across the globe and is a key area of concern for US policy makers. The project focuses on an urban community in Costa Rica that was planned and designed 20 years ago as an innovative solution to the problem of domestic violence. The planning process at its core was informed by anti-violence organizing. As such it offers an opportunity to look at the relationship between the built environment and the social milieu surrounding violence across generations. This project is thus a reflective study on how successful a design approach is for addressing domestic violence. By studying the effects of design on the behaviors and attitudes of a residential community this project will connect community, home and interpersonal practices to regional and national policies. A key output of this project will be a set of resources for creating community level responses to domestic violence that can be taken up and employed by both policy makers and local organizations within the US and other countries. These resources, in addition to the oral histories and case study data, will be made available to the public in both English and Spanish through an online portal. This portal will also be valuable for engaging undergraduate students in courses on urban planning, politics and gender.This project will contribute to scholarship on the relationship between urban planning, vernacular landscapes, and everyday practices. The study brings together literatures on geopolitics, social movement organizing, feminist planning, landscape analysis and memory studies in a conceptual framework that enables the exploration of how anti-violence organizing can be sustained across generations. The central goals of this project are to (1) trace the ways the ideologies of anti-violence organizing might be embedded in the built environment through intentional urban planning; (2) how those ideologies are then experienced and internalized by inhabitants of those places; and (3) if this process works inter-generationally. Ultimately this project seeks to understand to what extent a particular built environment informs the decision making and perceptions of individuals. These goals will be accomplished by evaluating a urban community in Costa Rica, where domestic violence was a driving factor in the original design process, using a short term cohort study with the "builders" (people who participated in the design and construction of the community 20 years ago) and the "second generation" (people who grew up there). The empirical data will consist of (1) life history interviewing; (2) participant photo documentation; and (3) semi-structured follow up interviews. This innovative combination of visual and textual methods speaks to the study's conceptual landscape analysis component as well as enabling the investigators to analyze participants' understanding of domestic violence and the sustainability of anti-violence organizing across generations in relation to the built environment.

该项目调查景观和规划在为预防和减轻家庭暴力和暴力侵害妇女行为制定长期解决方案方面的作用。家庭暴力是地球仪妇女、家庭和社区经济和社会发展的重大障碍，也是美国决策者关注的一个关键领域。 该项目的重点是哥斯达黎加的一个城市社区，该社区是20年前规划和设计的，是解决家庭暴力问题的一个创新办法。 规划进程的核心是反暴力组织。 因此，它提供了一个机会来审视建筑环境与跨代暴力的社会环境之间的关系。 因此，该项目是一项反思性研究，探讨设计方法在解决家庭暴力方面的成功程度。通过研究设计对居住社区行为和态度的影响，该项目将把社区、家庭和人际交往实践与区域和国家政策联系起来。 该项目的一个关键产出将是一套资源，用于在社区一级对家庭暴力作出反应，美国和其他国家的决策者和地方组织都可以采用和利用这些资源。除了口述历史和案例研究数据外，这些资源将通过一个在线门户网站以英文和西班牙文向公众提供。 这个门户网站也将是有价值的参与城市规划，政治和性别课程的本科生。这个项目将有助于城市规划，乡土景观和日常实践之间的关系的奖学金。 这项研究汇集了地缘政治，社会运动组织，女权主义规划，景观分析和记忆研究的概念框架，使反暴力组织如何跨代持续的探索文献。该项目的主要目标是：（1）追踪反暴力组织的意识形态如何通过有意识的城市规划嵌入建筑环境中;（2）这些意识形态如何被这些地方的居民体验和内化;（3）这个过程是否在代际之间起作用。 最终，该项目旨在了解特定的建筑环境在多大程度上影响了个人的决策和感知。 为了实现这些目标，将对哥斯达黎加的一个城市社区进行评估，在该社区，家庭暴力是最初设计过程中的一个驱动因素，对“建设者”（20年前参与社区设计和建设的人）和“第二代”（在那里长大的人）进行短期队列研究。 经验数据将包括（1）生活史访谈;（2）参与者照片文件;（3）半结构化随访访谈。 这种视觉和文本方法的创新结合说明了研究的概念景观分析部分，并使调查人员能够分析参与者对家庭暴力的理解以及与建筑环境有关的跨代反暴力组织的可持续性。
