Definition[edit | edit source]

Self-territorial segregation refers to the voluntary separation of individuals or groups based on their geographical location or territory. This can occur for a variety of reasons, such as cultural differences, socio-economic status, or personal preferences. People may choose to live in certain neighborhoods or regions where they feel more comfortable or where they believe they have better access to resources and opportunities.

Self-territorial segregation can have both positive and negative impacts. On the one hand, it can help individuals maintain a sense of identity and community, as well as provide a feeling of safety and belonging. On the other hand, it can also lead to social isolation, inequality, and perpetuate stereotypes and prejudices.

Overall, self-territorial segregation reflects individuals' choices and desires to be in spaces that align with their values and preferences. However, it is important to consider how this behavior can contribute to wider patterns of inequality and exclusion in society.
