People with intellectual disability (ID) who live in regular neighbourhoods have experiences with their neighbours, which are important to understand when studying social integration.
This study describes and analyses the opinions on, and experiences with, neighbour relationships of 39 people with ID living in neighbourhood housing facilities.
We found that, while the views of people with ID on 'good neighbouring' were consistent with 'neighbouring' described in sociological literature, their experiences may be influenced by an organisational context, the tendency to formalise relationships and apprehension towards meeting unfamiliar people.
Understanding influential factors to neighbouring for people with ID may shed light on the processes involved in social integration of people with ID at a neighbourhood level. This paper contributes to understanding the opinions of people with ID on satisfactory neighbourhood relationships, and explores opportunities to improve them.
居住在常规社区中的智障人士(ID)与邻居有过交往经历,这对于研究社会融合至关重要。
本研究描述和分析了 39 名居住在社区住房设施中的 ID 人士对邻里关系的看法和体验。
我们发现,虽然 ID 人士对“良好邻里关系”的看法与社会学文献中描述的“邻里关系”一致,但他们的体验可能受到组织背景、关系正式化倾向以及对与不熟悉的人交往的担忧的影响。
了解 ID 人士邻里交往的影响因素,可能有助于理解 ID 人士在社区层面实现社会融合的过程。本文有助于了解 ID 人士对满意邻里关系的看法,并探讨了改善这些关系的机会。
