A review of the published and grey literature relevant to displacement and urbanisation in Pakistan, with specific emphasis on Peshawar and KP, was completed in July 2012. A scoping study was carried out in Peshawar in August 2012, which aimed to collect additional information, elaborate research questions through discussions with key informants and inform the methodology and approach to field research. Based on this, seven field sites were identified for data collection in urban and peri-urban areas of Peshawar, including four sites within Peshawar and three camp locations: Jalozai camp and two Afghan refugee villages, Khazana camp and Naguman camp along the Peshawar–Charsadda Road. Locations were chosen to reflect the diverse socio economic and demographic composition of displaced populations within the town. Refugee and IDP camps were selected in such a way as to ascertain the differences between those living in and outside camps, and the links between camp and non-camp areas. A description of these sites is in Chapter 2.
