Territorial ethnic exclusion in Zagreb
Abstract
Manifestations of the interaction between spatial structure and the formation of ethnic exclusion areas are analyzed through the example of Zagreb (Croatia). Roma ethnic community and Bosnians are most at risk of ethnic exclusion, which is largely due to their common migration history and compact settlement in Zagreb. Elements with a barrier function for the residential areas were identified within the structure of the urban space of Zagreb, namely rivers, railways, large highways, industrial and commercial areas, and green park areas. We distinguished Residential areas that combine characteristics of geographical isolation and social exclusion on ethnic grounds were recognized. It was found out that geographical isolation of the areas of residence was a key factor that aggravated social exclusion. The main behavior strategy of Roma and Bosnians, who are trying to get out of the ethnic exclusion, is to move from a territorially isolated residential area.
