Migrazioni e networks urbani

Abstract

There are many definitions of integration developed by scholars of migration. They agree – especially in recent years, due to the significant changes in migration – that these processes are open to multiple outcomes, largely related political, social, economic and cultural factors. These different factors represent the different dimension which you can look to the integration; a term that appears as a multidimensional concept, as well as dynamic, and can be declined at different levels of analysis. The relational level (meso-level) represents the point of convergence between macro and micro factors of integration. In fact, the urban integration processes often depend on the effectiveness of their own social networks. This paper presents the results of a survey in the Mercato neighborhood (Naples). The aim is to analyze the integration of Kabardians community, through Social Network Analysis methods.
