Abstract

ABSTRACTThis contribution presents the results of a qualitative research conducted on migrant settlement in rural Italy. It proposes moving beyond the concept of social integration to explore the potential of social emplacement of asylum seekers and refugees in non-urban areas. From this point of view, the results will be presented in the light of four analytical categories. The first is that of the influences of the specificities of Italian rural contexts on social emplacement processes. The second concerns the important issue of choice concerning migration paths in relation to non-urban areas. The third investigates the creation of social capital and the potentialities and limits observed in rural contexts. Finally, the contribution looks at the possibilities of access to services and forms of housing.KEYWORDS: Social emplacementsocial integrationmigrant settlementrural areasrefugees Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The European Rural Vision 2040 is a long-term vision for the EU’s non-urban areas up to 2040 that identifies areas of action towards stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous rural communities: https://rural-vision.europa.eu/index_en, last accessed on 05/01/2022.2 https://whole-comm.eu/, last accessed on 02/01/2023.3 https://matilde-migration.eu/, last accessed on 02/01/2023.4 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Ageing_Europe_-_statistics_on_population_developments#Older_people_.E2.80.94_population_overview, last accessed on 06/01/2023.5 The Italian reception system is divided into first (extraordinary) and second (ordinary) reception.

期刊介绍: International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
