融合已成为重新安置难民和其他移民的一个关键政策目标，也是一个重要的公共讨论事项。然而，由于一体化概念的含义大相径庭，协调一致的政策制定和富有成效的公共辩论都受到威胁。试图定义的术语，相关文献和主要的实地考察在英国的难民定居点设置的基础上，本文确定了核心要素的看法是什么构成成功的融合。建议的融合关键领域涉及四个总主题：在就业、住房、教育和卫生部门取得的成就和机会;关于公民身份和权利的假设和做法;社区内各群体内部和之间的社会联系过程;与语言、文化和当地环境有关的这种联系的结构性障碍。将这些领域联系起来的一个框架是作为一种工具，以促进关于重新安置环境中融合的规范概念的辩论和定义。
Integration has become both a key policy objective related to the resettlement of refugees and other migrants, and a matter of significant public discussion. Coherent policy development and productive public debate are, however, both threatened by the fact that the concept of integration is used with widely differing meanings. Based on review of attempted definitions of the term, related literature and primary fieldwork in settings of refugee settlement in the UK, the paper identifies elements central to perceptions of what constitutes successful integration. Key domains of integration are proposed related to four overall themes: achievement and access across the sectors of employment, housing, education and health; assumptions and practice regarding citizenship and rights; processes of social connection within and between groups within the community; and structural barriers to such connection related to language, culture and the local environment. A framework linking these domains is presented as a tool to foster debate and definition regarding normative conceptions of integration in resettlement settings.
