Atmospheres of (Counter)Terrorism Survey, 2022

The project is an unprecedented, large-scale qualitative and quantitative international comparison of how counterterrorism and urban security interact with our everyday experience of cities in Europe. The project is based upon an international questionnaire survey focused on perceptions of terrorist threat in the ordinary experience of the urban space and the daily activities of the inhabitants of France, Germany, and the UK, and in-depth research in 5 European cities with contrasting histories of attacks, threat level, and planning/policy responses (Berlin, Birmingham, Nice, Paris, and Plymouth). It engages with urban residents and stakeholders involved in urban security/planning. The project adds empirical knowledge to ongoing scholarly debates in social and cultural geography and urban geopolitics. Moreover, the project will provide key insights for practitioners (urban planners, security agencies and the wider public). This allows to produce original and usable evidence on how counterterrorism impacts on the shared felt qualities (atmosphere) of urban spaces.

This collection contains the data from a survey on a representative sample of people from France, Germany and the United Kingdom in 2022 regarding the evolution of their opinions, practices, perceptions, and representation of public space in relationship to terrorism and counterterrorism.

本项目针对欧洲城市反恐与城市安全如何与民众日常城市体验相互作用这一主题，开展了前所未有的大规模定性与定量国际对比研究。本项目基于一项国际问卷调查，聚焦法国、德国、英国三国居民在城市空间日常体验与日常活动中对恐怖主义威胁的感知；同时在柏林、伯明翰、尼斯、巴黎、普利茅斯5座袭击历史、威胁等级与规划/政策应对各具差异的欧洲城市开展深度调研。项目调研对象涵盖城市居民及参与城市安全/规划工作的利益相关方。本研究为社会与文化地理学、城市地缘政治学领域的现有学术争论提供了实证依据。此外，本项目还将为实务工作者（城市规划师、安全机构及更广泛公众）提供关键洞见，从而产出关于反恐如何影响城市空间共通感知氛围的原创性、可落地的实证证据。本数据集收录了2022年针对法国、德国、英国三国具有代表性的民众样本开展的调研数据，相关调研围绕民众在恐怖主义与反恐背景下的观念演变、行为实践、感知认知及公共空间表征展开。
