Definition[edit | edit source]

Local ethnic segregation refers to the separation of different ethnic groups within a specific geographic area. This can occur through various means, such as housing policies, socioeconomic factors, or cultural preferences. Ethnic segregation can have negative effects on communities, including limited access to resources and opportunities for certain groups, as well as increased tensions and conflicts between different ethnic groups. Efforts to reduce ethnic segregation typically involve promoting diversity, integration, and equal opportunities for all residents.
