A refugee reception has been placed in Kungshall, one of Nybros residential areas. The area has a bad reputation and there are arguably prejudices about the area from the local population. I therefore want to investigate if an ethnic residential segregation exists in Kungshall, from a postcolonial perspective. The following research questions have been formulated: How do residents who doesn’t live in the refugee reception, look at ethnic residential segregation in Nybro? How has Kungshall changed since the refugee reception? Does a cultural racism exist in Kungshall?   The study is a qualitative study using semi structured interviews of four people living in the residential area, a person who has moved out of the area and a person working on the housing corporation “Nybro bostads AB”, who is one of the housing corporation responsible for the residential area Kungshall. The study is based on post-colonial theory. According to all the interviewees, there is an uneven balance between Swedes and immigrants in the neighborhood. And according to all the interviewees living in the area, too many refugees have been placed in Kungshall, and the residential area has changed for the worse in recent history. One of the interviewees has already moved, and the others living in the area either know someone who has moved out of the area or is planning to themselves. And the main reason to ethnic residential segregation is often explained in terms of cultural differences between “us-and- them”: between the refugees and the others. It is clear from the interviews that there is a cultural racism among people and the main reason for people moving out of the area could arguably be related to cultural racism.

This thesis aims to examine if the rise in crime, in the suburbs of the Stockholm region, can be explained by the effect of residential segregation on behaviour. The main focus of this thesis is the three primary approaches to economics of crime; Freeman’s (1999) cost-benefit analysis, Wynarczyk’s (2002) theory on intersubjectivity and morals affect on crime participation, and finally Feldman and Smith's (2014) analysis of how morals effect good and bad people. To investigate if the rise in crime can be explained by the effect of residential segregation on behaviour, an experimental questionnaire containing six fictitious scenarios isused with the aim of functioning as an experiment in a simplified form. The participants are randomly selected residents from different suburbs around Stockholm, with different ethnic backgrounds and from allages above 15. The experiment generated the data of 348 participants in total, where the participants are placed in different fictional scenarios. In each scenario the participants have to choose whether they would choose to commit crime or not given the context. The scenarios are followed by a shorter section with background questions about gender, age, ethnic background and where in Stockholm they live. With the generated data from the second shorter section we were able to perform logit regression analysis to see the correlations. We found that foreign-born individuals were most likely to commit crime in most scenarios but domestic-born individuals with domestic-born parents were more likely to commit crime when placed in scenarios that were very realistic for those who lived in the exposed suburbs where segregation and crime is very high. However, this result was not statistically significant, which means that further study with more observations could be more informative. This implies that a solution to diffuse crime geographically could be to reduce segregation by having more advantageous nodes, which refers to individuals that are willing to move to neighbourhoods that do not consist of their own kind, and therefore break the structures of parallel societies and have a more integrated society with less crime. In order to establish all the factors that affect crime participation linked to segregation, further research is recommended

Sverige har idag utvecklats till ett mångkulturellt land med många olika etniciteter i samhället. Denna utveckling har resulterat i att det råder uppdelning av folkgrupper. I denna studie har vi valt fokuserat på den etniska boendesegregationen som råder i många delar av landet. För att kunna genomföra studien har vi valt att begränsa oss till stadsdelen Norrby i Borås. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer det är som främst kan förklara att komplexa samverkansprojekt blir framgångsrika respektive problematiska. Tillit och samverkan sammankopplas till studien genom detta syfte för att bilda en förståelse om hur samverkan och tillit i komplexa nätverk med många aktörer och andra individer kan gå till. För att kunna genomföra studien har vi fördjupat oss i hur Borås Stad implementerar sina intentioner och åtgärder för att minska den etniska bostadssegregationen på Norrby. Studien inkluderar en kvalitativ forskningsstudie med kvalitativa intervjuer av olika aktörer i Borås Stad. Resultatet visar att det föreligger olika faktorer som påverkar framgångarna och motgångarna i samverkansprojekt. De faktorer som påverkar framgången är att aktörerna stödjer varandra i samarbetet, visar öppenhet och ömsesidighet, är faktorer som främjar både tillit och samverkan. Ytterligare faktorer som också främjar skapandet av tillit i samverkan är att parterna hanterar sina ansvarsområden och låter de andra aktörerna, men också invånarna vara delaktiga i samverkan. De hämmande faktorerna är bland annat brist på resurser i samverkan vilket leder till att det inte går att utföra löften. Att arbeta med integration är också ett omfattande arbete vilket har lett till att ansvar och engagemang i samverkan kräver konstant ingripande. Slutligen utgörs de sista faktorerna av att det förekommer en brist på kommunikation och ömsesidighet mellan aktörerna såväl som invånarna och att vissa aktörer uppfattas bli passiva. / Today, Sweden has developed into a multicultural country along with several different ethnicities in the urban community. This development has resulted in a state of fragmentation in the community. In this study, we choose to focus on the ethnic residential segregation that occurs all over the country. In order to accomplish this study, we also choose to confine ourselves to the urban district Norrby in Borås. The purpose of this study, is to research what factors that mainly can explain why complex collaboration projects turns out to be successful or problematic. Trust and collaboration are linked to the study through this purpose in order to create an understanding of how collaboration and trust in complex networks involving a great number of participants and other individuals could appear. In order to accomplish the study, we have immersed in how City of Borås implements their intentions and interventions in order to reduce the ethnic residential segregation in Norrby. The study includes a qualitative research study, together with qualitative interviews from different participants in Borås. The results show that it exists different factors which influence both prosperity and setbacks in projects of collaboration. The factors influencing prosperity, is that participants support each other in the collaboration, shows openness and reciprocity towards each other. These are factors which improve trust and collaboration. Other factors that also improve the creation of trust in collaboration is that the parties handle their area of responsibility and allow the other participants, but also the residents to be a part of the collaboration process. The repressive factors are among other, a lack of resources in the collaboration process, which leads to promises being broken. Working with integration is also a comprehensive task, which have resulted in responsibility and commitment in collaboration requires constant intervening. Finally, the last factors consist of the fact that it occurs a lack of communication and reciprocity between the participants, as well as between the residential and some participants whom are being perceived passive. This thesis is written in Swedish.

本文研究臺灣地區的族群居住隔離，以1956年至1990年間四次戶口普查報告資料為主，分析臺灣地區中四個族群（外省人、本省閩南人、本省客家人及原住民）於1956年及1966年兩次戶口普查報告資料中的居住隔離狀況。以及兩個族群（外省人及本省人）於1956年、1966年、1980年及1990年四次戶口普查報告中的居住隔離狀況。並以1990年戶口普查報告資料進行族群居住隔離因素探討。研究中使用 D指數及P*指數，作為居住隔離程度的指標。 結果發現原住民與其他三個族群的居住隔離程度顯著高於另外三個族群，印證「種族居住隔離效果」高於「族群居住隔離效果」。台灣地區族群居住隔離的區域差異十分明顯，南部地區的居住隔離程度顯著高於其他地區，而都市地區的隔離程度最低。三十五年來省籍族群居住隔離程度逐次降低，而區域性的差異則依然存在。族群居住隔離指標的使用的確可以表現出實際的族群居住隔離現象。「鄉鎮市區」與「村里」次級單位的使用在實際指數的形成上的確存在差異。 本文在省籍族群居住隔離因素的分析結果上，支持「同化理論」的觀點。也就是省籍族群間若是社經差異越小則省籍族群間的居住隔離將逐漸降低。而「眷村」等制度性因素亦是影響台灣地區族群居住隔離的重要因素，而此一因素為台灣地區所特有的現象。本文分為五章共使用26張表、20張圖以及兩個指標的計算方程式。
