===== Definition ===== Static spatial segregation refers to the persistent separation of different social groups in physical space. It occurs when individuals from different backgrounds or social groups are physically isolated from one another and live in distinct residential areas or neighborhoods. This separation can be based on factors such as income, race, ethnicity, or occupation. Static spatial segregation can have several negative consequences, including the perpetuation of inequalities and the reinforcement of social divisions. It can lead to the concentration of poverty or wealth in certain areas, exacerbating socioeconomic disparities. Additionally, static spatial segregation can limit access to resources and opportunities for individuals living in marginalized neighborhoods, further restricting their social mobility. Efforts to reduce static spatial segregation often involve implementing policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity and integration in neighborhoods. These may include affordable housing initiatives, zoning changes, or educational programs designed to encourage interaction and understanding between different social groups.
