Abstract
In recent decades, interest in residential segregation has increased in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region, primarily due to immigration. This study explores segregation and its potential links to socioeconomic disparities and social (in)justice. The analysis uses standard segregation indicators, along with their spatial counterparts, and employs permutation tests for inference. These methods are applied to the province of Pescara, a Mediterranean city in Southern Italy, to also explore segregation differences between urban and rural areas. Finally, we discuss how this approach can assist policymakers in identifying segregation pockets in rural outskirts and prevent potential spatial (in)justices and socioeconomic disparities affecting ethnic minorities.
期刊介绍:
Population, Space and Place aims to be the leading English-language research journal in the field of geographical population studies. It intends to: - Inform population researchers of the best theoretical and empirical research on topics related to population, space and place - Promote and further enhance the international standing of population research through the exchange of views on what constitutes best research practice - Facilitate debate on issues of policy relevance and encourage the widest possible discussion and dissemination of the applications of research on populations - Review and evaluate the significance of recent research findings and provide an international platform where researchers can discuss the future course of population research
