===== Definition ===== 

Ethno-regional segregation refers to the physical separation and grouping of different ethnic or regional groups within a larger society or community. This separation can occur voluntarily, where individuals or communities choose to live amongst people of their same ethnicity or region, or it can be enforced through policies or practices that restrict certain groups from living in certain areas.

Ethno-regional segregation is often influenced by a variety of factors, including historical, social, economic, and political factors. Historical events, such as conflicts or migrations, may contribute to the formation of ethnically or regionally homogenous communities. Social and cultural factors, such as shared language, religion, and customs, may also play a role in the formation of these segregated communities.

Economic factors, such as disparities in wealth and access to resources, can also contribute to ethno-regional segregation. If certain areas are economically disadvantaged or lack opportunities, it may result in the concentration of certain ethnic or regional groups in those areas. Political factors, such as discriminatory policies or systemic inequality, can also contribute to the perpetuation of ethno-regional segregation.

While ethno-regional segregation can provide a sense of community and cultural preservation for certain groups, it can also lead to inequality, discrimination, and social divisions. It can reinforce stereotypes, hinder social cohesion, and limit opportunities for social interaction and integration.

Efforts to address ethno-regional segregation often focus on promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equal opportunities. These can include policies and initiatives aimed at promoting integration, equal access to resources and opportunities, and challenging discriminatory practices or policies.
