This research will explore the housing experiences ofrefugees and asylum seekers in two European countries byexamining housing policies and settlement patterns. The so-calledrefugee 'crisis' and the integration of these individuals acrossEurope has caused many different challenges for European society,some of those challenges that are not fully known, and others areonly just emerging in this superdiverse era. Previous researchshows how their integration into the host society can be impededby social structures. Scales of governance can seriously hamper theindividual autonomy of refugees and asylum seekers such as lawsthat fix them to a particular place (Weidinger, in press). Thisresearch will consider the role of housing policies and settlementpatterns on migrant integration. Using case studies of rural,regional and urban settings, it will scrutinize housing, settlementand integration processes.A qualitative approach (semi-structured interviews,observation, document analysis) will provide a range ofperspectives and lenses to scrutinise migrant integration. Dataanalysis will draw primarily on Goffman and Delanty to unravel theimportance of micro-level interactions vis-à-vis wider socialstructures.The research will contribute to a growing scholarship onnew immigration destinations, that is areas with limited experienceof immigration. One of the ongoing challenges of migrationresearch is that of methodological nationalism (Wimmer and GlickSchiller 2002). In proposing pan-European analysis this research willhelp to move beyond piecemeal localized migration studies,extending theoretical debates and providing essential knowledge toNGOs and policymakers.

本研究将通过考察两个欧洲国家的住房政策和定居模式来探讨难民和寻求庇护者的住房经验。所谓的难民“危机”以及这些人在欧洲各地的融合给欧洲社会带来了许多不同的挑战，其中一些挑战尚不完全清楚，而其他挑战只是在这个超级多样化的时代才刚刚出现。先前的研究表明，社会结构会阻碍他们融入东道国社会。治理的尺度会严重阻碍难民和寻求庇护者的个人自主权，比如把他们固定在一个特定的地方的法律（Weidinger, in press）。本研究将考虑住房政策和定居模式对移民融合的作用。它将利用对农村、区域和城市环境的个案研究，审查住房、定居和一体化进程。定性方法（半结构化访谈、观察、文件分析）将提供一系列的视角和镜头来审视移民融合。数据分析将主要利用Goffman和Delanty来揭示微观层面的互动对-à-vis更广泛的社会结构的重要性。这项研究将有助于增加对新移民目的地的研究，这些目的地是移民经验有限的地区。移民研究面临的挑战之一是方法论民族主义（Wimmer and GlickSchiller 2002）。在提出泛欧分析的过程中，这项研究将有助于超越零碎的局部移民研究，扩大理论辩论，并为非政府组织和政策制定者提供必要的知识。
