Templegrove Action Research Limited - Introduction
Templegrove Action Research Limited
was established in December 1993 with the aim of researching and
documenting aspects of sectarian division in the North West area
of Northern Ireland. In September 1994, a two-year investigation
into segregation and enclave communities in Derry Londonderry
which was funded by the Central Community Relations Unit (CCRU),
The Joseph Rowntree Trust, the Ireland Fund, and the Londonderry
Initiative. The aim of the project was to investigate aspects
of the shifting population balance between Protestants and Catholics
in Derry Londonderry. As part of the investigation, research was
conducted in two enclave areas, Gobnascale (Catholic) and The
Fountain (Protestant) in which some of the central questions were
directed at, uncovering the reasons why some people remain living
in certain areas, whilst others move out; establishing the quality
of life for those who remain; and also how people perceive themselves
on the majority-minority axis.
As part of its brief, Templegrove Action
Research Limited was committed to make policy recommendations
on any aspect of public policy related to sectarian division.
By the end of the project in 1996, Templegrove has made submissions
to the Divisional Planning Office on aspects of area planning
and sectarian division, and to the Police Authority for Northern
Ireland on policing and sectarian division. The project had also
published a number of other reports. The text from all of these
documents is available from the links below.
