Ethnic concentration and the nature of segregation have been heralded as a problematic aspect oftoday's European city. Despite the mass migration of the majority population to the suburbs minority ethnic groups have maintained their position in deprived urban areas, usually in core settlement areas in the inner city. More recently, however, there is evidence of a small-scale migration of minority groups to the suburbs, about which we know less. Although, much has been written about the housing conditions and segregation of minority ethnic groups, less has been written about their housing careers, residential mobility, and preferences. This thesis attempts to address these limitations in our knowledge and to enhance our understanding of the residential location and preferences of South Asian households. To fully explore these objectives the research adopts a triangulated approach; combining a quantitative study using census data of both the residential location and concentration of South Asian groups in the study area and in-depth interviews with migrating South Asian households. The major findings of the research show that over the past ten years Greater Glasgow has seen changes in the residential location of its South Asian popUlation; the results of the census analysis detail the maintenance of both residential differentiation and continued concentration in the inner city as well as evidence of dispersal to traditionally white suburban areas, areas adjacent to the core and in-between areas. The processes underlying these changes are shown to be dynamic and complex, encompassing elements of choice and constraint and reflecting negotiated choices. Cultural expectations, religious observance, financial constraint and limited housing options interact with choice in sustaining ethnic clustering in the inner-city. On the other hand we see the spatial ramifications of changing cultural practises, social aspirations and economic opportunity for a selected group of movers. Although ethnicity and religion playa continuing role in shaping the residential choices of the South Asians interviewed, these factors were not independent but interacted with individual/personal factors, class, economic status, gender, age, family issues and the dynamic nature of culture in determining locational needs and preferences. The South Asian population is shown to be differentiated from within. This suggests that the idea of a coherent 'Asian community' obscures differences and generates assumptions regarding residential behaviour and 'in-group' identities not matched in the empirical data presented here.

  • Review of Current and Future Network Performance
    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 7.15 Corridor 15: Glasgow to Stranraer and South West 7.15.1 Setting the Context Corridor 15 extends from the outskirts of Glasgow to Stranraer (approximately 136 kilometres) and from the west coast eastwards towards Corridor 18 (Glasgow to North West England), as shown in Figure 7.15.1. The corridor has a total population of 386,400670 and connects the city of Glasgow with population centres in Ayrshire and the south west of Scotland. The main towns include Kilmarnock, Ayr, Irvine and Stranraer. Glasgow Airport is also located along this corridor, to the north of the M8 Motorway near the St James Interchange, however the impact of the airport is addressed in the Glasgow urban network, which can be found in Chapter 5.4. The population in the corridor is forecast to decrease by approximately 9,100 people between 2005 and 2022, a decline of two per cent670. At the same time, the number of households in the corridor, centred on the core town areas (Ayr, Kilmarnock and Irvine), is forecast to increase by six per cent670 and employment is expected to increase by approximately five per cent670. Inactivity rates within the corridor are forecast to decline by 14 per cent between 2005 and 2022670. Figure 7.15.2 shows the areas of changes in population and employment in this corridor. Prestwick Airport, the Irvine Bay Regeneration Project and the ports along this corridor provide major economic activity and employment opportunities. The Irvine Bay Regeneration Project will encompass the five towns of Irvine, Saltcoats, Ardrossan, Stevenston and Kilwinning671.
