Sag' mir, wo Du wohnst, und ich sag' Dir, wer Du bist!

Zum aktuellen Stand der deutschen Segregationsforschung

Abstract

After a brief reminder of the first aims of segregation as a core problem of urban and regional sciences the descriptive, explaining and valorizing aspects of three schools (human ecology, new urban sociology and feminist sociology) are critically analyzed. Generally, the underlying theory of social inequalities is weak, a social understanding of space is missed and the functional interrelations between the neighbourhoods are neglected.
