Abstract

The impact of different places on women’s practices has not been much explored in the context of informal settlements in Iran, where they face many restrictions due to socio-cultural norms. Using a qualitative approach, this paper investigates how different geographies of place affect women’s practices for social interaction and physical activity. This research is based on primary data collection through interviews and transect walks in Moradab Hill, which is an informal settlement in Iran. The research shows that unlike the studies that emphasise the benefit of parks, in this case women’s social life flourished on streets and in private and semi-private everyday places such as shops, areas around houses, and workplaces. The results show a considerable difference in the impact of different urban fabrics on women’s practices. Fine urban grain with small accessible shops increased women's perception of safety and visibility on streets. It allowed practices of social greetings and mobility. Self-built single-family houses encouraged outdoor social practices with neighbours. Conversely, those women who were moved to high-rise buildings in the same area as part of the neighbourhood regeneration found themselves restricted by high-rise typology and felt unsafe or uncomfortable going outside or to the parks. Parks that are proposed as a part of the regeneration plans are primarily appropriated by men whereas women are dependent on private and semi-private spaces as social infrastructure, with high-rise typology being a threat to personal mobility under the current socio-cultural norms.

“我一直在家”:伊朗非正规住区的社会基础设施和女性个人流动模式

摘要

在伊朗非正规住区的背景下,不同地方对妇女实践的影响没有得到太多探讨,因为社会文化规范,她们面临许多限制。使用定性方法,本文调查了不同的地理位置如何影响女性的社交互动和身体活动。这项研究基于在伊朗的一个非正式定居点莫拉达布山(Moradab Hill)通过访谈和横断面步行收集的原始数据。研究表明,与强调公园益处的研究不同,在这种情况下,女性的社交生活在街道和私人和半私人的日常场所如商店、房屋周围区域和工作场所中蓬勃发展。结果表明,不同城市结构对女性实践的影响存在相当大的差异。精致的城市谷物和可到达的小商店增加了女性对街道安全性和能见度的感知。它允许社交问候和流动性的做法。自建的独户住宅鼓励与邻居进行户外社交活动。相反,那些因社区重建而被转移到同一地区的高层建筑的女性发现自己受到高层建筑类型的限制,并且在外出或去公园时感到不安全或不舒服。作为再生计划的一部分提出的公园主要由男性占用,而女性则依赖私人和半私人空间作为社会基础设施,在当前的社会文化规范下,高层建筑类型对个人流动性构成威胁。s 对街道上的安全性和能见度的感知。它允许社交问候和流动性的做法。自建的独户住宅鼓励与邻居进行户外社交活动。相反,那些因社区重建而被转移到同一地区的高层建筑的女性发现自己受到高层建筑类型的限制,并且在外出或去公园时感到不安全或不舒服。作为再生计划的一部分提出的公园主要由男性占用,而女性则依赖私人和半私人空间作为社会基础设施,在当前的社会文化规范下,高层建筑类型对个人流动性构成威胁。s 对街道上的安全性和能见度的感知。它允许社交问候和流动性的做法。自建的独户住宅鼓励与邻居进行户外社交活动。相反,那些因社区重建而被转移到同一地区的高层建筑的女性发现自己受到高层建筑类型的限制,并且在外出或去公园时感到不安全或不舒服。作为再生计划的一部分提出的公园主要由男性占用,而女性则依赖私人和半私人空间作为社会基础设施,在当前的社会文化规范下,高层建筑类型对个人流动性构成威胁。相反,那些因社区重建而被转移到同一地区的高层建筑的女性发现自己受到高层建筑类型的限制,并且在外出或去公园时感到不安全或不舒服。作为再生计划的一部分提出的公园主要由男性占用,而女性则依赖私人和半私人空间作为社会基础设施,在当前的社会文化规范下,高层建筑类型对个人流动性构成威胁。相反,那些因社区重建而被转移到同一地区的高层建筑的女性发现自己受到高层建筑类型的限制,并且在外出或去公园时感到不安全或不舒服。作为再生计划的一部分提出的公园主要由男性占用,而女性则依赖私人和半私人空间作为社会基础设施,在当前的社会文化规范下,高层建筑类型对个人流动性构成威胁。
