项目摘要

The Research Network addresses the key development challenges of clean and affordable energy (SDG7), sustainable cities (SDG11) and gender equality (SDG5). The project builds on the findings of our three interdisciplinary GCRF projects in India and South Africa, addresses the gap identified in these projects (poor communication between policy makers and the local community and lack of women's participation in energy policy) and aims to maximise their impact. Energy infrastructure affects women in particular as they are at home more than men, carry out most household practices and are extremely dependant of social networks. In developing countries, women's traditional role at home leads to them having far more influence than men on domestic energy consumption but women's involvement in UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 7 (energy) and 11 (safe, resilient and sustainable human settlements) remains an under-researched area, especially in the urban context. Our previous research has revealed policy makers' total lack of understanding of women's daily realities in low income settlements in India and South Africa: new energy and housing infrastructure has led to households practices moving from outdoors to indoors, energy intense lifestyle and debt.Predicting the future of energy demand lies in understanding the everyday life that sources domestic energy consumption. Yet approaches to effectively capture the everyday life in domestic environments are a blind spot in current energy research. The challenges are considerable and call for a radical new approach. Film is an art of recording that is always imbued with a pre-existing reality associated with a social and physical context within given cultural, political and environmental circumstances. Cinema is an unused vehicle to study the unravelling of domesticity within dwellings that are notoriously difficult to access given the sociocultural context. The Research Network explores how cinematic analysis and short documentary films could provide crucial new data concerning womens' daily practices and energy use. This could allow us to make recommendations that could result in the creation of more inclusive, affordable and clean energy infrastructure. This Research Network will address this development challenge specifically by: a) analyzing our existing CineSpaceMuse database on everyday household practices in Indian and African cinema; b) making a series of short documentary films on location in Mumbai and Cape Town; and c) testing the approach on policy makers in a series of workshops in Mumbai, Cape Town and Cambridge. The international collaborators (Indian Institute of Technology/IITB, City of Cape Town, Development Action Group/DAG, Doctors For You/DFU) have been in key role on developing this proposal and identifying development challenges in the field. Their participation in crucial in the workshops, the analysis and dissemination. The project uses films in two ways. First, by adopting the methodology and the software developed for the AHRC CineMuseSpace project [https://www.cinemusespace.arct.cam.ac.uk]. This part of the study will directly build on our CineGenus project [https://www.cinemusespace.arct.cam.ac.uk/news/cinegenus]. Second, PI and Co-I will make short documentary films (each 2-5min) on location in low income housing in Mumbai and Cape Town that pin down the occupants' daily practices, which interact with energy, mainly electricity. The novelty lies in using the fiction films' data as a reflective tool to map energy consumption patterns which are in sync with daily lives. Short film database, policy briefing and design guidelines for energy infrastructure in low income housing will be written together with all project partners and discussed in the workshops.

该研究网络解决了清洁和负担得起的能源（SDG 7），可持续城市（SDG 11）和性别平等（SDG 5）的关键发展挑战。该项目以我们在印度和南非开展的三个跨学科全球气候基金项目的调查结果为基础，解决了这些项目中发现的差距（决策者与当地社区之间沟通不畅以及妇女参与能源政策不足），旨在最大限度地扩大其影响。能源基础设施对妇女的影响尤其大，因为她们比男子更多地呆在家里，操持大部分家务，而且极其依赖社交网络。在发展中国家，妇女在家庭中的传统角色使她们对家庭能源消耗的影响力远远超过男性，但妇女参与联合国可持续发展目标7（能源）和11（安全、有复原力和可持续的人类住区）仍然是一个研究不足的领域，特别是在城市背景下。我们之前的研究表明，印度和南非的政策制定者完全不了解低收入居民区妇女的日常生活：新能源和住房基础设施导致家庭习惯从户外转向室内，能源密集的生活方式和债务。预测能源需求的未来在于了解日常生活中的能源消耗。然而，有效捕捉家庭环境中日常生活的方法是当前能源研究的盲点。挑战是巨大的，需要采取一种激进的新办法。电影是一种记录的艺术，总是充满了与特定文化，政治和环境环境中的社会和物理背景相关的预先存在的现实。电影是一种未使用的工具，用于研究在社会文化背景下难以进入的住宅内的非连续性。研究网络探讨电影分析和纪录短片如何能够提供有关妇女日常做法和能源使用的重要新数据。这将使我们能够提出建议，从而建立更具包容性、负担得起和清洁的能源基础设施。该研究网络将通过以下方式应对这一发展挑战：a）分析我们现有的关于印度和非洲电影中日常家庭做法的CineSpaceMuse数据库; B）在孟买和开普敦拍摄一系列纪录短片;以及c）在孟买、开普敦和剑桥举办的一系列讲习班上测试政策制定者的方法。国际合作者（印度理工学院/IITB、开普敦市、发展行动小组/DAG、Doctors For You/DFU）在制定这一提案和确定该领域的发展挑战方面发挥了关键作用。他们的参与对讲习班、分析和传播至关重要。该项目以两种方式使用电影。第一，采用为AHRC CineMuseSpace项目[https://www.cinemusespace.arct.cam.ac.uk]开发的方法和软件。这部分研究将直接建立在我们的CineGenus项目上[https：//www.cinemusespace.arct.cam.ac.uk/news/cinegenus]。第二，PI和Co-I将在孟买和开普敦的低收入住房拍摄纪录短片（每部2- 5分钟），记录居住者的日常生活，这些生活与能源，主要是电力相互作用。新颖之处在于使用小说电影的数据作为反思工具来绘制与日常生活同步的能源消耗模式。将与所有项目伙伴一起编写低收入住房能源基础设施的短片数据库、政策简报和设计准则，并在讲习班上讨论。
