Most geo-spatial studies regarding inter-ethnic relations are single dimensional, focusing on residential segregation assuming its association to the social domain. We argue that in the globalizing world daily activity spaces, social networks and influences on everyday life conditions are rooted in growing horizons around residential location weakening the power of residential location to dictate life conditions. Hence we suggest employing a multi-dimensional approach. Specifically, we explore the associations among residential spaces （relating to Arab residents of： purely Arab localities; mixed-Jewish-Arab cities, and Jewish cities）; main activity spaces （commuters to Jewish areas and localists--people staying mostly in the Arab localities） and social integration （social networks; repertoire of identities; attitudes toward integration and knowledge of Hebrew）. The data incorporate tracking the movements of 177 responders for a week （using a GPS logger） and in-depth interviews, which were analyzed quantitatively. Core findings suggest that both residential place and activity spaces affect social integration, however, the locality type has a greater affect. In addition, we identified four integration sorts according to kinds of municipality, activity spaces, and integration measures： （1） segregated localists living in Arab municipalities; （2） commuters living in Arab localities characterized by limited integration; （3） Arabs residing in Jewish cities that succeeded economically but are characterized by limited social integration, and （4） those living in mixed cities which enjoy the highest, yet limited integration level.展开更多

文摘This article examines integration vs. segregation of Arabs in Israel＇s social sphere. Most geo-spatial studies regarding inter-ethnic relations are single dimensional, focusing on residential segregation assuming its association to the social domain. We argue that in the globalizing world daily activity spaces, social networks and influences on everyday life conditions are rooted in growing horizons around residential location weakening the power of residential location to dictate life conditions.

文摘How do ethnic groups with different cultural traditions in a multi-ethnic country exchange,communicate,and integrate?How can we draw upon the historical experiences of China's multi-ethnic cultural exchanges?Do Confucianism,Taoism,and Buddhism belong exclusively to the Central Plains culture?Exploring these questions holds significant practical importance for fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of a shared spiritual homeland for the Chinese people.In Chinese history,the religious and cultural exchanges among the Han,Tibetan,and Mongolian ethnic groups—marked by mutual learning,mutual promotion,and joint development—have left behind valuable experiences and formed a model of"Diversified Mutuality and Harmony"in religious and cultural exchanges.These three ethnic groups,centered on Confucianism,Taoism,and Buddhism as their axial beliefs,established a multi-layered mode of communication.The harmonious coexistence of diverse religions not only enriched and developed the main cultural traditions of Confucianism,Taoism,and Buddhism,branching out luxuriantly and innovating interactively,but also infused fresh vitality into the cultures of each ethnic group.This ultimately gave rise to a broad,profound,and enduring Chinese culture by way of unity in diversity.
