Understanding Changes in Patterns of Residential Mixing between Mexicans and Anglos in Southwest Cities

直到最近，种族隔离学者才开始承认，社区民族和种族构成的变化取决于城市环境，城市环境决定了家庭在社区搬迁或定居方面的选择。 如果要解开邻里变化的复杂性，就必须更好地理解城市间隔离结构和住房市场变化的影响。拟议的研究将开发和评估西南部城市内的邻里变化的层次模型。 该项目的第一阶段旨在确定与社区种族特征快速变化相关的社区和大都市一级的特征，特别关注墨西哥和盎格鲁家庭不断变化的组合。 该项目的第二阶段侧重于墨西哥人和盎格鲁人所做的邻里选择，以及这些选择如何受到个人和家庭属性的影响，并结合从一个社区到另一个社区和样本中的大都市地区的不同背景条件。将采用多尺度方法，其中包括用于分析多个尺度上的线性和非线性效应的分层统计技术、用于分析基于空间的邻里属性的地理信息系统，以及对来自收入动态小组研究的地理编码样本的分析。

Only recently have segregation scholars begun to acknowledge that change in neighborhood ethnic and racial composition depends upon the urban context which defines the set of alternatives for households making decisions about neighborhood relocation or settlement. If the complexities of neighborhood change are to be unraveled, the effects of inter-city variations in segregation structure and housing markets must be better understood. The proposed research will develop and evaluate a hierarchical model of neighborhood change within cities of the Southwest. The first phase of the project is designed to identify neighborhood and metropolitan level characteristics associated with rapid changes in the ethnic character of neighborhoods with a specific focus on the changing mix of Mexican and Anglo households. The second stage of the project focuses on the neighborhood choices made by Mexicans and Anglos and how these choices are influenced by personal and household attributes in conjunction with contextual conditions that vary from one neighborhood to another and vary across the metropolitan areas in the sample. A multi-scale methodology will be used that incorporates hierarchical statistical techniques for analyzing linear and non-linear effects at several scales, geographical information systems to analyze spatially-based neighborhood attributes, and analysis of geo-coded samples from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics.
