Digital Transition and New Forms of Spatial Inequality
This thematic issue examines how digital transition reshapes spatial inequalities by reconfiguring relationships between people, places, and opportunities. We frame the contributions around three interrelated mechanisms—place attractiveness, access to opportunities, and the coordination of activities— that operate through housing and labour markets. Digital transition reshapes all three mechanisms, generating spatially uneven outcomes across the …
Ethnic exposure in activity places: A study using survey and GPS-tracking data
With increasing ethnic diversity, the high level of segregation between ethnic groups remains a major social problem in many cities. This study provides detailed insight into activity space segregation by analysing ethnic exposure across all activity places people visit, aiming to detect where ethnic groups are more exposed to each other and where they are more separated. Our study is based on survey and smartphone tracking data collected over a …
Landscapes of thermal inequality: Exploring patterns of climate justice across multiple spatial scales in Spain
We investigate thermal inequality in Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Murcia, and Sevilla. • Links between heat exposure and the baseline predictors hinge on the specificities of local context. • Education and population density appear to be consistently significant predictors of thermal inequality. Over the last four decades, global temperatures have seen a generalized, long-term increase, and Europe is at the forefront of this trend, with temperature…
A comparative study of immigrant-native segregation at multiple spatial scales in urban Europe
There has been a strong degree of interest over the last 30 years towards immigrant segregation in Europe. This paper aims to contribute towards the existing body of research by extending the multi-scalar analysis of patterns of immigrant residential segregation into a coherent international comparative study of cities of different sizes. We investigate the patterns of immigrant-native segregation at different geographical scales, along with thei…
Residents’ Perceptions of a Smart Technology Retrofit Towards Nearly Zero-Energy Performance
Coping with global climate challenges requires changes in both individual practices and the technical infrastructure in which people operate. Retrofitting existing buildings with smart and sustainable technologies shows the potential in reducing the environmental impacts of the housing sector and improving the quality of life for residents. However, the efficiency of these means depends on their individual and societal acceptance. This calls for …
The Relationship between Ethno-Linguistic Composition of Social Networks and Activity Space: A Study Using Mobile Phone Data
This study is a contribution to the discussion on the ethnic segregation cycle, through the examination of individuals’ activity spaces—including residence and workplace—and from the perspective of social networks. Bridging social ties can be a key factor in higher minority inclusion and in breaking the vicious circle of segregation. We compare the spatial behaviour of two ethno-linguistic population groups living in Tallinn, Estonia’s capital ci…
An ethno-linguistic dimension in transnational activity space measured with mobile phone data
In addition to permanent migration, different forms of cross-border mobility were on the rise before the COVID-19 pandemic, ranging from tourism to job-related commuting. In this paper ethno-linguistic differences in cross-border mobility using the activity space framework are considered. New segregation theories emphasise that segregation in one part of the activity space (e.g. in residential neighbourhood) affects the segregation in other parts…
Are younger age groups less segregated? Measuring ethnic segregation in activity spaces using mobile phone data
Both assimilation theory and common sense suggest that the longer the immigrants reside in a host society, the more they become integrated. However, studies conducted in many countries show the opposite: younger generations of immigrants are more segregated than their parents. The aim of this study is to examine differences in ethnic segregation between age groups of the Estonian majority and Russian-speaking minority in Estonia. We use census da…
Ethnic Segregation During Public and National Holidays: A Study Using Mobile Phone Data
This paper contains an analysis of ethnic differences in activity locations during public and national holidays. Holidays relate to identity, and the celebration of holidays can be a very important part of acculturation processes and are therefore relevant to ethnic integration policies. We study the out‐of‐home nonemployment activity locations of 12,500 respondents in Estonia, using mobile phone positioning data. The results show that during hol…
