main street between Ramallah and Jerusalem 230 acres , and this area
increased to reach 353
acres now .
In 1949, the number increased to 3000 persons, this number increased to 4800 person in 1967, but the
last statistics indicate that the number reached to 19,000 person in 2010.There are many shops in the Camp, a medical
clinic ,two schools for girls and boys ,etc. ( Figure 1)

Phase II: Social Maps
These maps included interesting and creative space-uses in the camp. Each of maps include a brief description about the specific case, its location in the Camp and some of images to clarify it.

Phase III: Intervention in Qalndia Camp
The intervention was held on Mon. 25/12/2013 in Basketball Camp playground in the child center from (3:00 pm - 5:pm). Independent on social mapping. Our main target was to engaged with the neglected people living in the area, people with special needs who should have the normal life that everyone have. The intervention focused on the Camp's children participation .

Activity #1: D-J Hadeel
Hadeel who was born with physical difficulties, she helped us as a DJ mixer in the intervention and also happens to be an expert in fixing any electrical instrument.

role in the party was to draw a wall painting on the outside walls of children
club, where we held our intervention.

Activity #3: Dabakeh Activity
We arranged a Dabkeh activity by a
team for Qalandia children themselves, they presented for us one of
their shows and the children shared them their dance and had fun.

Phase IV: Documentary Movie
In our documentary, our main
target was to show the life of the neglected disabled people living in the
camp. From the social mapping, we chose Emad's case. The Documentary narrates
Emad's story before and after his disability, and shows how he came up with a
way to ease his movement problem in such difficult context, by his persistence
and determination

Phase V: Final Product
From the social mapping and the documentary movie, we decided to take Emad's issue to higher levels, so we made it our urban design issue. We decided to design for him thev elevator, a roof garden, and sheep's area .
Step #1: Legibility Analysis
To determine the urban needs
in relation to the location and design issue, we did 30 community interviews in
order to identify the visual form of the area by the Kevin Lynch principles
(Paths, edges, district, nodes, landmarks). The final result was a legibility
map that shows the mostly used districts, nodes, landmark, paths, and node in
the camp.
Step #2: Community Interviews
We did 20 community
interviews in order to determine the urban needs. The final result was the
problem map that shows problems in the camp like (point of confusion, elastic
intersection, characterless area, weak boundary and etc

Step #3: Design Workshop
For preliminary
determination of the design and the needs of design, the participation of
Emad's family was taken into consideration, along with the issues found in the
legibility analysis and problem maps. We also determined our available resources
for implementation.

From the problem map analysis and design workshop some design issues have been generated which related mainly to the site of the needed project.

Step #4: Conceptual Analysis
We combined the urban needs with Emad's family needs into a set of concepts for the final design.

Step #5: Physical Land Mark Analysis
In this step, it was
necessary to provide more than one proposal in order to reach the final
proposal that is appropriate for the design of a landmark as an urban need in
the context.

Step #13: Final Presentation
In the final step of our
project was the presentation of our work to Emad and the donors as well as some
experts in the filed. Following the presentation was a discussion and feedback
for us to start the implementation of work.
