Fear of the detrimental effects of ethnic segregation has pervaded the debate on the population composition of cities and neighbourhoods. However, little is known about mechanisms underlying the spatial sorting of ethnic minorities. Hence, policies aimed at desegregation may result in exactly the opposite - that is, new ethnic concentrations and segregation. This paper studies the residential outcomes of 658 forced movers from urban restructuring areas in The Hague. Compared with "native" Dutch (those with both parents born in the Netherlands), ethnic minorities report neighbourhood improvement less often and are more likely to stay within or move into other ethnically concentrated neighbourhoods. These differences are not fully explained by differences in individual characteristics, resources, institutional factors, pre-relocation preferences or other relocation outcomes. Ethnic specificities in neighbourhood choices thus remain a pressing issue for further research.
对族群隔离不利影响的担忧一直主导着关于城市和社区人口构成的辩论。然而，对于少数族群空间分布的机制知之甚少。因此，旨在消除隔离的政策可能会导致相反的结果，即新的族群集中和隔离。本文研究了来自海牙城市重建区的 658 名被迫搬迁者的居住结果。与“本地”荷兰人（父母双方均在荷兰出生的人）相比，少数族裔报告邻里改善的情况较少，更有可能留在或搬入其他族裔集中的社区。这些差异不能完全用个体特征、资源、制度因素、搬迁前偏好或其他搬迁结果的差异来解释。因此，在邻里选择方面的族群特殊性仍然是一个需要进一步研究的紧迫问题。
