Precarious Places: Social Cohesion, Wellbeing and Place Attachment in Refugee-Host interactions, 2017

This collection contains English transcripts of twenty semi-structured interviews carried out in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon during July 2017. Four different groups of people were approached for interview: Syrian refugees, Palestinian Refugees from Syria, Lebanese host communities and Palestinian Refugees from Lebanon. The interviews took place with households living in informal tented settlements and privately-rented accommodation. We asked questions about sense of place, mobility and meaningful locations. We wanted to know whether and how respondents formed attachments to meaningful places, the characteristics of those places, and the feelings they evoked.
