由于其选择性，国内移民在英国、欧洲和美国被认为是对种族和社会隔离的地理模式产生重大影响。尽管如此，尽管有公共分裂的历史，加上强调人口流动是隔离的原因的说法，在理解北爱尔兰空间人口模式的演变时，学术界对动态迁移过程的关注要少得多。本文试图通过考虑2001年至2007年间国内移民（定义为地址变化）在多大程度上重新分配了人口（a)宗教和(b)社会剥夺）来解决这一差距。利用北爱尔兰纵向研究（NILS）的数据，该论文发现天主教徒和新教徒在贫困方面进出相同类型的地方，但有一些证据表明，在个人社区隶属关系和其他个人社会人口特征方面，流动行为存在差异。然而，没有证据表明社区或社会隔离有所增加。有人认为，这是因为迁移的人相对较少，他们只迁移很短的距离，因此目前迁移对再分配的净影响很小。据推测，为了增加或减少种族隔离，需要一个在移民方面更有活力的人口。版权所有©2012 John Wiley & Sons， Ltd。
Internal migration, because of its selectivity, has been recognised in Britain, Europe, and the USA as a major influence on geographical patterns of ethnic and social segregation. Despite this, and despite its history of communal division, plus accounts which have emphasised population moves as a cause of segregation, far less academic attention has been paid to dynamic migration processes in understanding the evolution of spatial population patterns in Northern Ireland (NI). This paper attempts to address this gap by considering how far internal migration ‐ defined as address changes ‐ has redistributed the population with regard to (a) religion and (b) social deprivation between 2001 and 2007. Using data from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS), the paper finds that Catholics and Protestants move from and to the same sorts of places with regard to deprivation but that there was some evidence of differential mobility behaviour with regard to individual community affiliation and other individual socio‐demographic characteristics. However, there is no evidence for increases in either communal or social segregation. It is suggested that this is because relatively few people move, they move only short distances, and the current net redistributive impact of migration is therefore small. It is hypothesised that a much more dynamic population with regard to migration is needed to increase or decrease segregation. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
