This public opinion survey covers different issues of life in Jerusalem of its Israeli and Palestinian residents. It surveys their expressions about local needs, who they view as their local leadership, their social attitudes and ways of communication. It also explores perceptions of violence, life satisfaction and also questions about the future of Jerusalem and municipal elections. This survey is a part of a larger peacebuilding initiative in Jerusalem called “Building Visions for the Future of Jerusalem: A Bottom-Up Approach”. As such, the survey is one of a few ways to collect and give voice to the residents’ needs and perceptions regarding their life in Jerusalem. Its final objectives are to to better understand the foundations for cooperation between the two populations in this contested city, in order to assist in improving their well-being. The survey was conducted differently in each part of the city. In East Jerusalem, respondents (N=612) were interviewed face-to-face by PCPO, an experienced Palestinian survey firm under the supervision of Dr. Nabil Kukali. In West Jerusalem, respondents (N=596) were recruited by “I-panel” and “Midgam”, two of Israel’s largest opt-in internet survey firms. The Surveys were fielded, and responses were collected during January 2018. We are confident that these twodifferent means of data gathering, which is made necessary by the political reality on the ground, are nonetheless commensurate and comparable.

During the community development process in the first stage the groups engaged in an action evaluation process. In this process participants are asked to point on WHAT is important to them? WHY is it important to them? And How they plan to move forward? The conclusion of this process provides them with a concrete action plan for carry out their vision. Together with the survey results we create and example of how an common vision and action plan on specific issue can look like. Here are the aggregated data with an action plan.
