Turks in the Netherlands

Urban Segregation and Neighborhood Choice

There is a growing body of urban research and theory on the existence and persistence of concentration areas. Segregation takes many forms in cities. On one end of the spectrum, we discern ghettos (where members of the same ethnic group live because they have no other choice); on the other end, we find enclaves (areas with people belonging to the same ethnic group who choose to live there). It is important to find out if people are housed in neighborhoods where they want or do not want to live. If they reside in areas that are not their own choice, something might be wrong with the housing system, making adaptations necessary. This article focuses on the housing situation of Turks in the Netherlands. The present concentration patterns of Turks in Dutch cities show differences among cities, whereby housing policy seems to play a decisive role. The question posed in this article is how neighborhoods with a concentration of Turks can be characterized.
