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

该项目调查联合国维持和平行动在评估风险时进行安全测绘和使用特定色码的影响。它将首次追溯联合国安全测绘做法的起源，并比较关键的案例研究：阿富汗(绿区)、索马里(白区)、南苏丹和肯尼亚(蓝区)以及海地(红区和黄区)。预期成果包括更好地理解政策制定者如何评估实地风险、如何随着时间推移起草和修改安全地图，以及理解赋予特定颜色代码的含义。这些发现预计将使澳大利亚和其他寻求设计更好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.
