Moving with Risk: forced displacement and vulnerability to hazards in Colombia

该项目侧重于强迫流离失所研究中一个关键但研究不足的主题：因冲突而被迫背井离乡的人在重新定居的地方通常会面临更高的环境危害风险。实际上，这样的人用一种形式的灾难性风险交换另一种形式的灾难风险，在这个过程中往往几乎没有真正的选择。该合作项目将开创一种创新的方法，利用哥伦比亚的表现力艺术，在哥伦比亚，50年的冲突产生了目前世界上最大的国内流离失所人口。哥伦比亚也是最容易发生山体滑坡、洪水、地震和火山灾害等自然灾害的国家之一。拟议的活动旨在加深对向新风险过渡的方式和原因的了解，分析人们如何看待和应对重新安置地的风险，并加强他们自己和负责支助他们的机构管理对其生活、生计和福祉的影响的能力。被边缘化的人在危险的环境中艰难地重建他们的生活，往往资源有限，这项工作将在世界各地的发展中国家产生强烈共鸣，在这些国家，冲突和灾难这两种形式的风险通常相互作用。此外，2016年6月在哥伦比亚签署的停火协议创造了一个机会之窗，特别是在时间上帮助组织支持冲突中流离失所者的长期福祉。研究和参与将集中在四个案例研究上，在哥伦比亚中西部的托利马省、卡尔达斯省和里萨拉达省与因冲突而流离失所的人合作。为了了解男子和妇女如何经历被迫流离失所和重新安置到哥伦比亚易受自然灾害的地区，并探索将其纳入当地减少灾害风险进程的创新方式，该项目将使用创新的定性方法组合。社会科学的访谈和生活史方法将与与研究参与者一起探索创意艺术相结合。我们的想法是，注重艺术表现，特别是在哥伦比亚发挥特殊交流作用的流行音乐，将为我们提供一个窗口，使我们能够建立信任关系，并对他们的经历、脆弱性、看法和反应的多样性达成更深入和更丰富的了解。拟议的研究以一种很少在流离失所和持续风险领域得到有力应用的方式将各种方法结合在一起，但这一方案不仅仅是关于研究的。该项目的一个关键目标是建设能力，不仅在流离失所的人中，而且在负责支持他们和管理风险的组织内。通过一系列推广音乐和其他艺术表现形式的工作坊，我们打算利用创造性艺术来帮助人们认识到他们的权利，并发展他们自己的能力，以降低风险。风险管理组织中的主要合作伙伴也将出席这些讲习班，他们将发挥积极作用，并从探索与边缘化流离失所者合作的新方法中受益。其想法是，这将鼓励那些难以将这些社区纳入风险管理体系的组织，减少将他们视为受害者和受益者，而是更多地将其视为降低灾害风险的积极合作伙伴。如果成功，我们将帮助将这种超越案例研究领域的新工作方式推广到全国范围的灾害风险治理和对流离失所者的支持。在和平的可能性有望改善许多因数十年冲突而被迫背井离乡的人的生活之际，该项目尤其切合实际。

The project focuses on a critical but under-researched theme in studies of forced displacement: the processes through which people forced from their homes by conflict can commonly become exposed to heightened risk from environmental hazards in the places where they resettle. Effectively, such people exchange one form of catastrophic risk for another, often with little real choice in the process. The collaborative project will pioneer an innovative methodology using the expressive arts in Colombia, where five decades of conflict have generated what is currently the world's largest population of internally displaced people. Colombia is also one of the countries most prone to natural hazards including landslides, floods, earthquakes and volcanic hazards. The activities that are proposed aim to deepen understanding of how and why the transition to new risk occurs, analyse how people perceive and respond to risk in their places of resettlement, and strengthen the capacity of both themselves and the agencies responsible for supporting them to manage the implications on their lives, livelihoods and wellbeing. The work with marginalised people, struggling to rebuild their lives in hazardous settings, often with limited resources, will have strong resonance for developing countries across the world where two forms of risk - conflict and disaster - commonly interact. Moreover, the signing in June 2016 of a ceasefire agreement in Colombia creates a window of opportunity that makes work to assist organisations to support the long-term wellbeing of conflict-displaced people particularly timely.The research and engagement will centre on four case studies, working with people displaced by conflict in urban and rural settings within the Departments of Tolima, Caldas and Risaralda in west-central Colombia. To understand how men and women experience forced displacement and relocation into areas prone to natural hazards in Colombia, and to explore innovative ways through which they could be incorporated into local processes of disaster risk reduction, this project will use an innovative combination of qualitative methods. Social science methods of interviews and life histories will be merged with exploration of creative arts with study participants. The idea is that focusing on artistic expression, especially popular music which plays a special communicative role in Colombia, will provide a window for us to build relations of trust and reach a deeper and richer understanding of the diversity of their experiences, vulnerabilities, perceptions and responses. The proposed research brings together methods in a way that has seldom been robustly applied in the field of displacement and ongoing risk.But this programme is not solely about research. A key objective of the project is to build capacity, not only amongst displaced people but also within the organisations responsible for supporting them and managing risk. Through a series of workshops in which musical and other forms of artistic expression will be promoted, we intend to use creative arts to help people recognise their rights and develop their own capacities to reduce risk. Also present at these workshops will be key partners in the risk management organisations, who will take an active role and benefit from the opportunity to explore new ways of working with marginalised displaced people. The idea is that this will encourage organisations that have struggled to include these communities in risk management systems to view them less as victims and beneficiaries, and more as active partners in reducing disaster risk. If successful, we will help promote this new way of working beyond the case study areas to the national scale of disaster risk governance and support for displaced people. At a time when the potential for peace holds promise for making life better for so many who have been forced from their homes by decades of conflict, the project is particularly pertinent.
