- 요약This dissertation delves into the intricate challenges of urban planning for displaced populations and their host communities in South Sudan and Uganda, with a focus on fostering self-reliance. It examines the experiences and needs of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and host residents in urban settings, aiming to inform effective integration strategies. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research encompasses household surveys, interviews, focus groups, participant observation, GIS analysis, and document analysis, and is presented across three chapters.Chapter 1 investigates priorities for city infrastructure and services among displaced populations and host communities in Juba, South Sudan. It finds that service prioritization varied more by household status (host, IDP, returnee) than by residential area. Cheaper transportation emerged as the most impactful service for both host and IDP households, while security was deemed a critical basic service by all groups. For shared facilities, hosts prioritized better markets due to income generation opportunities, whereas IDPs and returnees favored parks, reflecting their rural and camp-living backgrounds. Regression analysis highlighted that households facing food insecurity valued city services more highly, with female-headed households placing greater importance on these services than their male counterparts. Despite extreme poverty and food insecurity affecting both hosts and IDPs, the former had higher expectations for city services due to perceived stability. The study recommends collaboration between humanitarian agencies and city officials to engage and empower existing IDP and returnee networks in development projects.Chapter 2 explores income-generating barriers for displaced persons and host residents in Juba. It reveals that IDPs were more likely to encounter economic shocks, with 37% of IDP households experiencing such events compared to 17% of host households. To cope, IDPs commonly resorted to casual labor, whereas hosts often had better safety nets. Both groups relied heavily on microenterprises; however, IDPs engaged more in casual labor while hosts had higher rates of salaried employment. Lack of capital was the major barrier for income generation across both groups. Interestingly, legal documentation posed greater challenges for hosts due to more stringent municipal requirements in informal markets. Furthermore, IDPs faced severe difficulties in accessing loans and forming valuable connections. These findings underscore the shared economic vulnerabilities of both groups, suggesting that integrated, community-based approaches might be more effective than targeted demographic strategies to address these systemic barriers.Chapter 3 shifts focus to Uganda's land allocation policy for refugees in the Bidi Bidi integrated settlement, designed to promote self-reliance. While initially successful in fostering agricultural self-reliance, issues like reduced plot sizes and environmental degradation underscore the need for diversified strategies. The chapter stresses the importance of involving local authorities, host community leaders, and refugees in the planning and managing integrated settlements to ensure sustainable and effective outcomes.The dissertation concludes with targeted policy recommendations, advocating enhanced urban planning and service provision, redefined self-reliance strategies, stronger social networks, and a focus on environmental sustainability. It calls for future research on comparative urban integration strategies, health outcomes, and the distinct needs of climate-versus conflict-displaced persons. By adopting inclusive, adaptable, and context-specific approaches, policymakers and planners can develop resilient urban environments that address the needs of both displaced individuals and host communities.
