The researcher will construct narrative and phenomenological methodologies within this study. The purpose of this proposal is to use two qualitative methodologies to address the multi-dimensional research phenomena, and to generate a new understanding of peoples living experiences in Hebron community, the West Bank.Findings will be accessed in narrative research and phenomenological study to help the researcher to explore the experiences of Palestinian and Israeli settlersin Hebron and analyze how these participants feel about health risks they are facing. The purpose of the study was to identify how and why the Palestinian and Israeli children in the community have problems, and why the conflicts were accelerating between the two groups. The researcher will conduct interviews with focus groups in order to discover how the participants attach to the community. The researcher will have to collect the data after obtaining the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. Also, in-depth qualitative interviews can be used in both phenomenology research and narrative research. The reasonfor choosing both phenomenology research and narrative research is because narrative research can be chosen for the interpretation of the context of peoples experiences. Narrative research can also be used to assess how people access water in the Palestinian and Israeli settlements respectively through an open-ended process(Czarniawska, 2004).
