The Cartography of Peace: Security Zones, Colour Codes and Everyday Life

该项目调查了联合国维和行动在评估风险时使用安全地图和特定颜色代码的影响。它将首次追溯联合国安全制图做法的起源，并比较主要案例研究：阿富汗（绿区）、索马里（白区）、南苏丹和肯尼亚（蓝区）以及海地（红黄区）。预期的结果包括更好地理解决策者如何评估实地风险，安全地图是如何起草和修改的，以及理解特定颜色代码的含义。研究结果有望使澳大利亚和其他寻求设计更好的安全干预措施的政策制定者受益。

This project investigates the impacts of security mapping and the use of specific color-codes by United Nations peacekeeping operations when assessing risks. It will for the first time trace the origins of United Nations security mapping practices and compare key case studies: Afghanistan (green zone), Somalia (white zone), South Sudan and Kenya (blue zones) and Haiti (red and yellow zones). Expected outcomes include better understanding of how policy-makers assess risks on the ground, how security maps are drafted and modified across time, as well as an understanding of the meanings given to specific color-codes. The findings expect to benefit Australian and other policy makers seeking to design better security interventions.
