Abstract

Purpose Child friendly space (CFS) has been introduced worldwide as an effective Child Protection response to the affected children in emergency to restore their life through psychosocial support programs. An effective physical environment is crucial to accommodate the psychosocial activities of a CFS. Several guidelines have stated minimum standards regarding design and implementation of a CFS. However, different case studies show that the physical set-up of CFS varies in different contexts. Therefore, there is a scope to analyze the physical environment of CFSs in the context of Rohingya camps based on those standards. Design/methodology/approach Very few guidelines have solely discussed the criteria of physical design and implementation of a CFS. First, the study develops an assessment tool by sorting out those standards from available sources. Secondly, the study follows multiple case study research approach to assess physical environment of four CFSs in Rohingya camps, Cox’s Bazar based on those standards using direct observation, photographic analysis and key informant interview as survey tools. Findings Major findings reveal that local factors such as topography, availability of land and density have great impact on physical environment on CFSs in Cox’s Bazar beyond the minimum standards, which indicates the importance of considering local factors while designing a CFS for a given context. Originality/value Solely demonstrates the need of considering the benchmarks as well as local factors, which will contribute to the knowledge of policymakers and implementers during designing and implementing a CFS for a specific context.
分析紧急情况下儿童友好空间的物理环境:以孟加拉国考克斯巴扎尔的罗兴亚危机为背景
目的 儿童友好空间(CFS)作为一种有效的儿童保护措施,已在全球范围内推出,通过社会心理支持计划,在紧急情况下帮助受影响儿童恢复正常生活。一个有效的物理环境对儿童友好空间的社会心理活动至关重要。有几份指南规定了设计和实施心理辅导中心的最低标准。然而,不同的个案研究表明,在不同的情况下,爱幼学校的物质环境各不相同。因此,有必要根据这些标准对罗辛亚难民营中的爱幼学校的物质环境进行分析。 设计/方法/途径 只有极少数指南单独讨论了熟食中心的物质设计和实施标准。首先,本研究通过对现有资料来源中的标准进行整理,开发了一个评估工具。其次,本研究采用多重案例研究法,以直接观察、图片分析和关键信息提供者访谈为调查工具,根据这些标准对科克斯巴扎尔罗辛亚难民营的四个熟食中心的物质环境进行评估。 研究结果 主要研究结果显示,当地因素(如地形、可用土地和密度)对科克斯巴扎尔 CFS 物理环境的影响超出了最低标准,这表明在设计特定环境下的 CFS 时考虑当地因素的重要性。 独创性/价值 完全证明了考虑基准和当地因素的必要性,这将有助于决策者和实施者在针对特定情况设计和实施熟食中心时了解相关知识。
