The aim of this qualitative research project is to analyse diverse religious immigrant communities with respect to their processes of identity construction and civic integration. The project is closely linked to its sister project Configuration of individual and collective religious identities and civil society potentials. The quantitative project will analyse external and self-categorisations of social and religious identities and their impact on civil society on the basis of a large-scale assessment. The qualitative and the quantitative projects jointly address the lacuna of a detailed description and analysis of the impact of collective identities of religious communities in the context of a growing importance of civil society and an increasing plurality of religions. In addition, the combined undertaking asks which consequences arise from the perpetuation of collective identities of religious communities for contemporary politics and the coherence of modern democratic societies. The present qualitative research project focuses on analysing the strategies of adaptation and change of collective identity constructions of religious immigrant communities and their impact in civil society. The comparative design of researching the exemplary cases of immigrant Bosnian Muslims and Croatian Catholics in defined regions in two countries intends to analyse questions of belonging to a religious group in view of external and self-ascriptions. The key assumption of the project is that in western Europe the societally constructed idea of a socially accepted religion takes on lead orientation in order to gain societal legitimacy and recognition. The added value of this project and its close linkage with the quantitative project is to enhance the understanding of the role and impact of religion and religious communities both in democratic civil societies and processes of social integration.

这一定性研究项目的目的是分析不同宗教的移民社区的身份建设和公民融合过程。该项目与其姊妹项目"个人和集体宗教特性及民间社会潜力的配置“密切相关。定量项目将根据大规模评估分析社会和宗教特性的外部和自我分类及其对民间社会的影响。在民间社会日益重要和宗教日益多元化的背景下，定性和定量项目共同解决了详细描述和分析宗教社区集体特征影响的空白。此外，这一共同事业还提出了宗教社区集体身份的永久化对当代政治和现代民主社会的一致性产生了哪些后果。本定性研究项目的重点是分析宗教移民社区集体身份建设的适应和变化战略及其对民间社会的影响。比较研究波斯尼亚穆斯林移民和克罗地亚天主教徒移民在两个国家特定地区的典型案例，目的是从外部和自我归属的角度分析属于一个宗教群体的问题。该项目的主要假设是，在西欧，社会接受的宗教的社会建构观念具有主导性，以获得社会的合法性和认可。这一项目的附加值及其与量化项目的密切联系是，提高对宗教和宗教社区在民主民间社会和社会融合进程中的作用和影响的认识。
