Definition

Socio-geographic segregation refers to the separation and clustering of individuals or groups based on their social or economic characteristics in specific geographic areas. This can occur through various means, such as income inequality, access to resources, educational opportunities, and discrimination. Socio-geographic segregation can lead to the creation of divided communities with limited social interactions and opportunities for social mobility. It can also contribute to the perpetuation of inequalities and disparities among different populations. Addressing socio-geographic segregation requires comprehensive efforts to promote inclusive and equitable development, affordable housing, access to quality education, and opportunities for social integration.
