“…One alderman representing the Bevo Mill neighborhood in 2000 commented that his new Bosnian neighbors took good care of their houses and pride in where they lived (Mihalopoulos 1999). The subtlety of Bosnian culture on the residential landscape is in sharp contrast to the vibrancy of Mexican immigrants' housescapes that Arreola (2012) documented in Phoenix. Nonetheless, both case studies demonstrate the powerful contribution that refugee and immigrant newcomers can make to the revitalization of urban neighborhoods when given the opportunity to own homes.…”

“…They fix up their homes and take care of their children" (quoted in Hollinshed 2000, p. E1). This process of ethnic newcomers reclaiming abandoned or neglected commercial, religious, and residential space is indicative of "ethnic gentrification" that Airriess (2006) and Arreola (2012) documented respectively among Vietnamese entrepreneurs in New Orleans and Mexican residents in Phoenix.…”

“…In large gold and blue lettering, South City Meat & Deli advertises "teletina, junetina, jagnejetina," in one window, and the English translation (veal, beef, lamb) in the next window, with a fleur-de-lis in place of the "&" in "Meat & Deli" (Figure 3). The widespread use of national colors, symbols, and language on Bosnian-owned storefronts has shaped the aesthetic of Bosian place-making in Bevo Mill over the past two decades and is indicative of Arreola's (2012) previously defined "culturally sustainable practice.

“…However, no attention has been given to the process of ethnic enclave formation or Bosnian place-making and its manifestation on the cultural landscape. Following a long tradition of ethnic enclave and place-making research by cultural and ethnic geographers (see, for example, Lewis 1979;Curtis 1980;Arreola 1995;Wood 1997;Miyares 1998;Chacko 2003;Hume 2003;Arreola 2004;Kaya 2005;Airriess 2006;Chacko and Cheung 2006;Lagendijk et al 2011;Arreola 2012;Kaplan and Recoquillon 2014), this study seeks to fill the void.…”

Neighborhood ethnicity is related to mammal occupancy and activity across a desert metropolitan area

Cities support abundant human and wildlife populations that are shaped indirectly and directly by human decisions, often resulting in unequal access to environmental services and accessible open spaces. Urban land cover drives biodiversity patterns across metropolitan areas, but at smaller scales that matter to local residents, neighborhood socio‐cultural factors can influence the presence and abundance of wildlife. Neighborhood income is associated with plant and animal diversity in some cities, but the influence of other social variables is less well understood, especially across desert ecosystems. We explored wildlife distribution across gradients of neighborhood ethnicity in addition to income and landscape characteristics within residential areas of metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Utilizing data from 38 wildlife cameras deployed in public parks and undeveloped open spaces within or near suburban neighborhoods, we estimated occupancy and activity patterns of common mammal species, including species native to the Sonoran Desert (coyote [Canis latrans] and desert cottontail rabbit [Sylvilagus audubonii]), and non‐native domestic cat (Felis catus). Neighborhood ethnicity (percentage of Latino residents) appeared to exhibit a negative relationship with occupancy for coyotes and cottontail rabbits. Additionally, daily activity patterns of coyotes occurred later in the evenings and mornings in neighborhoods with higher proportions of Latino residents, but activity was unaffected by differences in neighborhood income. This study is one of the first to show that social‐ecological mechanisms associated with patterns of neighborhood ethnicity as well as income may help to shape wildlife distribution in cities. These findings have implications for equitable management and provisioning of ecosystem services for urban residents and highlight the importance of considering a range of social covariates to better understand biodiversity outcomes in urban and urbanizing areas.
