Definition

Perceived segregation refers to an individual's beliefs or observations about the separation of different social or ethnic groups within a particular community or society. This segregation may be based on factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics. Perceived segregation can have a significant impact on individuals' experiences and interactions within a community, influencing their sense of belonging, access to resources, and overall quality of life. It can also contribute to social inequalities and perpetuate discriminatory attitudes and behaviors.
