Homophily horizons and ethnic mover flows among homeowners in Scotland

Abstract

This article analyses mover flows in Glasgow and the role of ethnic homophily, the tendency for movers to be drawn to areas with similar ethnicities to their own. We look at how homophily affects the spatial relocation patterns of homeowners in Glasgow from Scottish, Indian, Pakistani and Chinese descent, and focus on the extent to which homophily extends beyond the immediate locality to surrounding neighbourhoods. Our interest is in estimating the “homophily horizon” – how far the gaze of homophily reaches in mover location decisions. Using a simple Schelling-type theoretical model, we argue that homophily horizons are potentially important in shaping the long-term social structure of cities as they may profoundly affect how potent the overall sorting tendencies of the housing market are in driving segregation. In principle, the more distant the homophily horizon, the more quickly the housing market will tend towards segregation, other things being equal. We adopt Folch and Rey’s use of the local centralization index to capture the influence of surrounding neighbourhoods in shaping mover flows and neighbourhood dynamics. Our estimation combines ethnic mover flows derived from surname analysis of house buyers from the house transactions recorded in Registers of Scotland data. Our results show that the presence of the own ethnic group in the local surroundings is important for explaining mover flows, and that homophily is a local phenomenon.     

壮族布傣族群女子“长袍黑衣”服饰的艺术特征

布傣族群是古骆越人的后裔,属于壮族的一个支系,是中国与越南的跨境民族。“长袍黑衣”是布傣族群女子演奏天琴时所穿着的服饰,地域性特色鲜明,与其他壮族支系有较大的区别;服饰款式与制作工艺独特,具有较强的民族文化内涵和较高的艺术审美价值。通过实地考察调研后,解析了“长袍黑衣”服饰的款式特点及形成原因,阐释了布傣族群的服饰文化。在全球化语境下,如何挖掘布傣族群服饰的特色与价值,传承、弘扬民族文化,有待关注与更深入的探讨。

Beyond the Multi-ethnic Metropolis: Minority Ethnic Housing Experiences in Small Town England

Evidence of racialised inequalities in housing in England has been accumulating for more than 40 years. While recognising the strengths and importance of this evidence base, this paper identifies a fundamental gap in current understanding of minority ethnic housing situations and experiences; the failure of analysis to acknowledge and understand the extent to which situations and experiences vary between places. Few studies have been sensitive to the particulars of minority ethnic housing experiences in different locations and those that have tend to have focused on the same small number of major towns and cities. Small town and rural experiences have remained largely invisible, despite increasing numbers of minority ethnic households living beyond the multi-ethnic metropolis. This paper recognises and responds to this situation by venturing beyond the current evidence base to explore the neglected housing experiences of minority ethnic people in small town England. Two key points are asserted. First, that minority ethnic people living in small towns encounter many of the same housing inequalities as their counterparts in metropolitan England. Second, that small town England presents a series of unique challenges demanding distinct responses and resulting in experiences very different to those recognised within the existing evidence base.     

中国近代建筑的民族形式 *

“近代建筑”指的是伴随着十八、九世纪以来工业生产而出现的新形式的建筑。建筑形式要满足新功能,运用新技术,又要符合民族审美观念。现今,民族形式逐渐成为近代建筑创作的新命题。中国近代建筑的民族形式经历了不同的发展阶段,从一开始立足于如何继承旧形式,改造旧形式,最终以新形式取代旧形式。现在对民族形式的探索,不但要注意传统建筑外部的形式特征,同时也注意研究民族形式内在的美学特征。     

地理民族双重影响下的渝东南传统聚落 景观特征研究

渝东南传统聚落景观是武陵山区土家族苗族文化生态的重要保护对象。该地区独特的山地环境和复杂的民族构成是探究聚落景观生成机制的关键。采用定性与定量结合的研究方法，分别从生态、生产、聚落和宅屋4个层次选取传统聚落景观的关键特征要素，结合GIS空间统计分析与形态分析的方法手段，总结归纳出受地理与民族双重影响下的渝东南传统聚落景观特征：1)受北高南低的自然地貌差异影响，传统聚落在区域尺度上呈现出北靠山居、南临水体的景观特征；2)受民族互动的影响，不同民族传统聚落景观呈现汉族聚落位于交通便利的溪河两岸，土家族聚落位于溪河两岸与浅丘地带，苗族聚落位于后山“溪里”的族群景观分异；3)传统聚落景观在聚落尺度上受地理与民族双重影响而呈现出差异化的特征，地理要素主要作用于生态、生产与聚落景观层次，民族要素主要作用于聚落与宅屋景观层次，并呈现出“从区隔到融合”的发展规律。渝东南传统聚落景观特征及其生成机制的挖掘为武陵山区文化生态保护提供了实证依据与支撑，可为构建西南山地多民族文化生态体系提供一个区域性的参照。     

The construction site as a multicultural workplace: a perspective of minority migrant workers in Brunei

Construction projects have become progressively multicultural, especially for countries with limited labour force where there is need to depend on migrant workers. This multicultural environment can easily create problems related to unfair treatment or discrimination. Focus group discussions were conducted with migrant workers from Indonesia and Thailand to examine factors directly and indirectly related to construction activities that need to be considered in a diverse nationality construction site, with a focus on the minority group. The study suggested that communication, wage segmentation, task assignment and trust, scapegoatism, and belief and religion are the important aspects needing to be carefully taken into account to have a constructive working and living environment in a multicultural project. Management should not overlook the above factors to avoid disenfranchizing minority workers.
