Abstract

Humanistic needs of refugees are rarely acknowledged in the initial designs of refugee camps. Many camps evolve to become more than a simple temporary solution with generations of refugees spending many years in them. During this time, refugees experience multiple humanistic needs, such as social and cultural adequacy, belonging, sustainability, community integration, home adaptation and improved access to essential services. Considering these complex conceptualisations, a multidimensional approach to the design of refugee camps is needed in terms of urban planning development. In this perspective, the paper employs the case study of Baqa'a camp in Jordan to explore the use of integrated criteria specifications as a solution for capturing the multidimensional elements of refugees’ higher-level needs and their impact on urban planning development. Findings propose criteria based on the refugees’ needs. The criteria were formulated from literature based on human needs theories, international refugee studies and reports from humanitarian organisations and developed through fieldwork and observation in Baqa'a camp community. The outputs demonstrate how shelter requirements and urban organisation by NGOs, often based on time management, logistics and costs, differ from standards and criteria that address the humanistic needs and desires of people. With these assumptions, a multidimensional approach to meeting the needs of refugees living in warm and dry climates is proposed to support the multi-transitional levels of shelter and socio-spatial urban organisation and evolution taking place in refugee camps.
多维标准在难民营设计中的应用:以约旦Al Baqa'a难民营为例
难民的人文需求在难民营的最初设计中很少得到承认。许多难民营演变成不仅仅是一个简单的临时解决方案,几代难民在其中度过了许多年。在此期间,难民经历了多种人文需求,如社会和文化充分性、归属感、可持续性、社区融合、家庭适应和改善获得基本服务的机会。考虑到这些复杂的概念,就城市规划发展而言,需要一种多维度的难民营设计方法。在这一视角下,本文通过对约旦Baqa’a难民营的案例研究,探索利用综合标准规范作为一种解决方案,以捕捉难民更高层次需求的多维要素及其对城市规划发展的影响。调查结果提出了基于难民需求的标准。这些标准是根据人类需求理论、国际难民研究和人道主义组织的报告制定的,并通过在巴卡难民营社区的实地调查和观察发展而来。这些产出表明,通常基于时间管理、后勤和成本的非政府组织的住房要求和城市组织如何不同于解决人们的人文需求和愿望的标准和标准。根据这些假设,提出了一种多维方法来满足生活在温暖和干燥气候中的难民的需求,以支持难民营中发生的住房和社会空间城市组织和演变的多过渡水平。
