This research aimed to compare the respective contributions of Participatory Action Research (PAR) and household surveys to inform understanding of informal settlement risks and the impact/influence of PAR to effect change. Urban risks in Section D of Sweet Home Farm informal settlement in the City of Cape Town were examined through the lenses of community risk assessment (CRA) and household survey methodologies conducted sixteen months apart. The results described a risk profile for the study site, which was similar to that of many of Cape Town's informal settlements. However, there was more concern over chronic "everyday" threats, such as the disposal of solid waste and crime, rather than fire and flood, which are prioritised by the City. This stressed the need for risk assessments at the local level. 2014-12-26T06:15:51Z 2014-12-26T06:15:51Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10043 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
