Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This recently initiated project by UNIDIR is intended to create a new means for assessing community security needs as stakeholders themselves understand them in such a timeframe, and in such a format, as to be useful in the design and planning of post-conflict security activities by major implementing organisations. It is partly informed by modern approaches to ethnography. The project appreciates that security does not have one meaning to all people. What makes us secure, how we act to make ourselves secure, and what we are willing to do, and not do for that security differs from place to place and changes through time. The meanings that a community gives to the concept of security affect how they organize, enact and interpret their security environment, and their response to it. Therefore, what is in the world (premises of belief) and what is good (premises of value) vary radically around the globe - even for communities that face remarkably similar structural problems, like poverty, poor governance, politics of exclusion and high availability of small arms. Understanding that different societies respond to structural realities differently allows us to frame problems of security in particular ways that allow us to not only discover what local security concerns may be, but crucially, why.
