This is the third household survey conducted since 2010 by Saferworld and the Caucasus Research Resource Centers (CRRC), carried out in four research areas adjoining the administrative boundary line (ABL) with South Ossetia/the Tskhinvali region of Shida Kartli. The surveys are designed to track public perceptions of safety and security in those regions over time. The four research areas are Atotsi-Dirbi, Nikozi-Mereti, Plavismani-Bershueti and Tsitelubani-Lamiskana. The aim of the report is to provide locally-informed insights on the factors that undermine security and livelihoods of these conflict-affected communities and, based on this assessment, work out locally-appropriate ways of responding to the causes of insecurity.
