Abstract

The residents of North Belfast live in a highly segregated environment – one in which Nationalist and Unionist communities live in close proximity to one another yet use very different spaces for their everyday activities. This paper describes how novel PGIS techniques have been used to identify
areas of open and closed space in North Belfast and how GPS tracks can be used to analyse the use of such spaces from the perspective of different communities. This will ultimately inform intervention strategies designed to promote spaces which reduce segregation and encourage more equitable access to public environments and resources.
