The Planning Survey for Bedouin Communities in the Barriyat1 –outskirts- of Jerusalem was initiated in December 2011, and developed from the efforts of the Displacement Working Group to support Bedouin communities facing displacement. The project developed from a joint proposal put together by IPCC, UN Habitat, and BIMKOM, with each organization examining related aspects and needs of these communities, mainly focusing on protecting these communities from the threats of displacement. UN Habitat’s focus is on liaising with the Palestinian Authorities and the Ministry of Planning to ensure feedback into the National Spatial Plan on planning policy for Bedouin communities, highlighting the experiences of neighboring countries in regards to national planning guidelines for Bedouins, and considering environmental preservation and sustainability as part of the strategic planning for the future. BIMKOM studied the Arab Palestinian Bedouin communities (hereinafter referred to as Bedouin) that have been relocated to the al Jabal area, BIMKOM also studied the environmental side effects of the adjacent municipal dump, and the symbiotic relationships between the Bedouin and their environment. IPCC has approached this study through a detailed survey of all of the communities’ sites, examining their existing living conditions and access to services.
