项目摘要

This research looks at how small locations in urban neighbourhoods can become points of exclusion and disconnection or, conversely, of sociability and belonging. Our focus is on places where people often 'hang out', often unglamorous micro-places characterised by a bench, a low wall, a nearby takeaway or a park entrance. The people for whom the outside is a place to pass time are commonly 'outsiders' in different sense: individuals and groups who may not be able or want to stay at home or at workplaces, and can't financially afford to spend time in more convivial or protected leisure environments. The aim of the research is to investigate the stories, memories and practices of people in using these places and to explore how the physical environment becomes a site of social interaction. The project will address how different dimensions of identity (race, class, gender, age) inform these encounters. Though the urban bench may occupy a nostalgic position in conceptions of neighbourliness, this research will also investigate aspects of inequality, conflict and control. In particular, we note increasing concern about gathering in public places (such as use of dispersal orders) and how places are often sanitised, including the removal of benches, with the aim of deterring longer-stay use of the public realm. The research will explore how casting certain groups of public space users as problematic (for example, young people) is at odds with public policy on mental, physical and social wellbeing which emphasises multiple benefits to being outdoors and participating in social contexts.The research sits within the AHRC Connected Communities programme. It is conducted in two different London neighbourhoods, working with community organisations as Co-Investigators. The primary method will be the making of a high quality film, a fact-fiction hybrid approach to documentary in which the filmmaker collaborates with participants to generate creative material, drawing on their own memories, stories and values. The starting point will be the choice of a bench within each neighbourhood, the participants generating ideas about mini-stories from the point of view of the bench and its experiences over time. A ten minute film will be produced, accompanied by a booklet with the research findings and process. The film will be shown locally, will be the focus of a stakeholder workshop, and also be widely distributed within academic, policy and community contexts. The film will inform research data through the gathering and interaction of personal stories, the development of the film narrative itself, and its potential to prompt responses from people in different positions and with varied areas of expertise.The research will be of benefit to academics researching social use of urban places (especially in diverse or disadvantaged contexts) and those whose agenda also includes place change either through design/regeneration (architecture, landscape architecture, planning) or through policy. Policy impacts include influencing agendas regarding public health, social inclusion, intercultural integration, supporting participation of elderly and young residents, and addressing hate crime and harassment.

这项研究着眼于城市街区的小地点如何成为排斥和脱节的点，或者相反，成为社交和归属的点。我们的重点是人们经常“闲逛”的地方，通常是以长凳、矮墙、附近的外卖店或公园入口为特征的平淡无奇的微型场所。那些把户外当作消磨时间的地方的人通常是不同意义上的“局外人”：那些可能不能或不想呆在家里或工作场所的个人和团体，他们在经济上负担不起在更欢乐或受保护的休闲环境中度过时间。这项研究的目的是调查人们在使用这些地方时的故事、记忆和做法，并探索物理环境如何成为社会互动的场所。该项目将解决身份的不同方面（种族，阶级，性别，年龄）如何告知这些遭遇。虽然城市长椅可能在邻里关系的概念中占据怀旧的位置，但本研究也将调查不平等，冲突和控制方面。特别是，我们注意到越来越多的人关注在公共场所聚集（例如使用驱散令）以及如何经常对场所进行消毒，包括拆除长凳，以阻止长期使用公共领域。这项研究将探讨如何铸造某些群体的公共空间用户的问题（例如，年轻人）是在精神，身体和社会福利的公共政策，强调多方面的好处，是户外和参与社会环境的矛盾。这项研究坐在AHRC连接社区计划。它在两个不同的伦敦街区进行，与社区组织合作作为共同调查员。主要的方法将是制作一部高质量的电影，一部事实小说混合的纪录片，电影制作人与参与者合作，利用他们自己的记忆，故事和价值观来制作创意材料。起点将是在每个街区选择一个长凳，参与者从长凳的角度及其随着时间的推移的经验产生关于微型故事的想法。将制作一部10分钟的电影，并附有一本介绍研究结果和过程的小册子。这部电影将在当地放映，将成为利益攸关方研讨会的重点，并在学术、政策和社区范围内广泛分发。这部电影将通过个人故事的收集和互动，电影叙事本身的发展，研究结果将对研究城市空间社会利用的学者有所裨益（特别是在不同或不利的情况下）和那些议程也包括通过设计/再生改变地点的人（建筑、景观设计、规划）或通过政策。政策影响包括影响有关公共卫生、社会包容、文化间融合、支持老年人和青年居民参与以及解决仇恨犯罪和骚扰问题的议程。
