Our Van in the Middle of the Street: Exploring responses to urban dwellers amid the escalating housing crisis in Bristol

拟议的研究是一个经验民族志越来越多的车辆居民（VDs），这可以被认为是第三代新旅行者（nt）。最近，有人提出将这一运动与负担不起的住房联系起来（例如：Johnston, 2016; Nsubuga, 2016）。我建议对这一运动进行实证研究，将其与住房危机联系起来，包括地方当局的反应及其影响。有关新技术的现有理论框架将据此发展和重新制定。将会提出以下问题：dvd如何识别自己？他们认为游牧是他们身份的一部分，还是一种必需品？住房危机在多大程度上是一种推动力——如果有的话？地方当局如何应对dvd ？这是如何塑造dvd的空间实践的？城市街道为dvd提供了宽容和自由的理想空间吗？

The proposed research is an empirical ethnography of an increasing number of Vehicle Dwellers (VDs), which could be considered to be a third generation of New Travellers (NTs). Recently, connections have been suggested linking this movement to unaffordable housing (e.g: Johnston, 2016; Nsubuga, 2016). I propose to research this movement empirically, in relation to the housing crisis, including responses from local authorities, and their impact. Existing theoretical frameworks regarding NTs will be developed and reformulated accordingly. The following questions will be raised:How do VDs identify themselves? Do they consider nomadism to be a part of their identity, or a matter of necessity? To what extent is the housing crisis a motivating force - if it is at all?How do local authorities respond to VDs? How does this shape the spatial practices of VDs?Do city streets provide VDs with ideal spaces of tolerance and freedom?
