Editing Activity-space segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Activity space segregation refers to the physical separation and lack of interaction between different groups of people based on their activities or interests. It involves the division of space into distinct areas for specific activities or groups, creating separate spaces for different social, cultural, or economic groups.

This segregation can occur in various settings, such as neighborhoods, cities, schools, workplaces, or recreational areas. It is often a result of social, economic, or cultural factors that lead to the formation of distinct activity spaces for different groups. Examples of activity space segregation include:

1. Residential segregation: Certain neighborhoods or housing developments may attract specific groups of people based on their income, race, ethnicity, or lifestyle. This can result in residential segregation, where different groups live in separate areas.

2. Workplace segregation: Some industries or occupations are dominated by specific groups of people, leading to workplace segregation. For example, certain professions may have a higher representation of men or women, or certain racial or ethnic groups may be underrepresented in particular industries.

3. Recreational segregation: Certain recreational spaces, such as parks, sports facilities, or social clubs, may be predominantly used by specific groups of people based on their interests, income, or social status. This can create segregated activity spaces where different groups have limited interaction.

4. Educational segregation: Educational institutions, such as schools or colleges, can also experience activity space segregation. This can occur based on factors like academic track, language proficiency, or socio-economic status, leading to separate activity spaces for different groups of students.

Activity space segregation can have significant social implications, as it can contribute to the perpetuation of inequalities, lack of diversity, and limited opportunities for interaction and understanding between different groups. Efforts to promote integration, social diversity, and equal access to spaces and resources can help reduce activity space segregation.
