本文报告了一个案例研究的结果，该研究探讨了难民与寻求庇护者、其他移民和英国当地难民定居点内长期居民之间的社区关系。来自不同背景的人之间缺乏有意义的关系，存在明显的偏见，潜在的紧张关系，群体间接触的机会很少。认同的共同方面有助于将人们团结在一起，但文化和信仰上的微小差异也与强烈的分歧有关。需要社区倡议和对新居民和现有居民的社会支持，以实现跨越差异的真正对话，并在共同目标和平等的基础上发展关系。
This article reports on the findings of a case study that explored community relations between refugees and asylum seekers, other migrants and long-term residents within a local area of refugee settlement in the UK. A lack of meaningful relationships between people from different backgrounds, significant prejudice, underlying tension and few opportunities for inter-group contact were found. Shared aspects of identity helped bring people together but small differences in culture and faith were also linked to strong divisions. Community initiatives and social support for both newcomers and existing residents were needed to enable real dialogue across difference and the development of relationships based on shared goals and equality.
