This method identifies factors that make women and girls insecure in cities and communities. The process of working with women and girls can be much easier if community decision-makers and community organizations work with women and girls to identify the places, circumstances and issues that cause the greatest sense of insecurity. Participatory diagnoses are important because they give women and girls a chance to tell the community what makes them feel insecure and what kinds of violence they face.

Participatory Diagnosis is a citizen participation method to determine perception-related and ethics aspects in planning of public spaces.

Description

Participatory Diagnosis is useful to identify feelings of insecurity in cities, communities, districts, and neighbourhoods as an important early step. It is a process giving participants the chance to tell what makes them feel insecure about, and to promote gender balanced participation[1]. Participatory Diagnosis is well established and successfully applied in community planning and development.

The Participatory Diagnosis is undertaken prior to the start of a planning project itself. Its results feed into the project planning, and contribute to the efficiency of planning public policies.

Process description

Participants are grouped according to similar constraints and opportunities. Sessions start with a review of characteristics of topics, concerns and recommendation domain, and move to identify and prioritise problems. Potential solutions are then discussed and alternatives are identified. The process ends with a selection of the best possible solution acceptable to all parties.

How does it support in planning of secure public spaces?

Participatory Diagnosis helps in

  • Identifying motives for a particular type of behaviour and revealing areas of difficulty;
  • Identifying feelings and perception of (in)security and risks;
  • Obtaining information and ideas to handle a particular issue in the process of planning urban spaces.
