居住隔离在许多社会中普遍存在。人们在这些分隔的环境中进行居住迁移可能会增加或减少隔离水平。本文以北方爱尔兰的分裂社会为例，探讨居住流动与宗教居住隔离的关系。这个国家的调查证据一直显示出对混合社区的偏好，但实际的地理流动模式表明人们搬到了同一宗教地区。本文使用北方爱尔兰纵向研究（NILS），探讨2001年至2011年期间影响宗教内部移民目的地的个人和背景因素。2001年，他们如何在当地的“宗教阶梯”上向上或向下移动，是参照他们的个人社会人口和邻里特征来模拟的。研究发现，人们的目的地仍然存在着个体宗教差异。例如，天主教徒比新教徒更有可能搬到天主教更多的地区，这表明尽管有和平进程，个人宗教仍然很重要。一些可能的原因被认为是在人口的地理格局中发现的部分解释。现有的居住隔离模式限制了大多数人在宗教场所的活动。然而，得出的结论是，个人的宗教仍然是一个与预期相反的重要因素。
Residential segregation is pervasive in many societies. People making residential moves in these divided contexts may increase or decrease segregation levels. In this paper, the divided society of Northern Ireland is used as an example to explore how residential mobility relates to residential segregation by religion. Survey evidence for this country consistently shows a preference for mixed neighbourhoods, yet actual patterns of geographical mobility suggest people move to same‐religion areas. The paper uses the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS) to explore the individual and contextual factors that influence the destinations of internal migrants by religion between 2001 and 2011. How they move up or down the contextual ‘religion ladder’ of localities is modelled with reference to both their individual socio‐demographic and neighbourhood characteristics in 2001. It is found that there are still individual religious differentials in people's destinations. Catholics, for instance, are more likely than Protestants to move to more Catholic areas, suggesting that individual religion remains important despite the Peace Process. Some possible reasons for this are considered with a partial explanation being found in the geographical patterning of the population. Existing patterns of residential segregation constrain moves in religious space for the majority of people. It is concluded, nevertheless, that an individual's religion remains a considerable factor contrary to expectations.
