Abstract

This report presents the findings of community mapping and research into community
cohesion tensions in the City and County of Swansea (CCS). The research was commissioned
by Swansea Community Cohesion Steering Group in October 2011. The primary aims of this research were to: provide an understanding of community cohesion work currently in existence in
Swansea; explore the makeup of the communities in Swansea, reflecting demographics, social
and cultural factors; identify key issues and areas of community tensions; and identify practical strategies for improving community cohesion in Swansea. The methodological approach adopted for the study had three phases. The first phase
involved undertaking a scoping exercise to identify existing community cohesion work across
the city via a pro forma which was sent out to a wide range of agencies working with local
communities. The second phase involved the collation and review of existing
data relating to different communities living in Swansea. The final phase involved collection of qualitative intelligence through
consultation with key stakeholders and community members.
