“…In this situation the local measures allow some understanding of which places are more or less segregated than the global level. Boal (1969), for example, shows how behaviour patterns in NI differ at a street-level spatial scale, with population structures varying across a sharp local community interface. Local measures of segregation begin to bridge the gap between behavioural studies and statistical descriptions of segregation obtained from the census and other large-scale data sources.…”

Segregation measures have been applied in the study of many societies, and traditionally such measures have been used to assess the degree of division between social and cultural groups across urban areas, wider regions, or perhaps national areas. The degree of segregation can vary substantially from place to place even within very small areas. In this paper the substantive concern is with religious/political segregation in Northern Ireland-particularly the proportion of Protestants (often taken as an indicator of those who wish to retain the union with Britain) to Catholics (often taken as an indicator of those who favour union with the Republic of Ireland). Traditionally, segregation is measured globally-that is, across all units in a given area. A recent trend in spatial data analysis generally, and in segregation analysis specifically, is to assess /oca/features of spatial datasets. The rationale behind such approaches is that global methods may obscure important spatial variations in the property of interest, and thus prevent nail use of the data. In this paper the utility of local measures of residential segregation is assessed with reference to the religious/political composition of Northern Ireland. The paper demonstrates marked spatial variations in the degree and nature of residential segregation across Northern Ireland. It is argued that local measures provide highly useful information in addition to that provided in maps of the raw variables and in standard global segregation measures.

“…This situation is problematic because segregation has been found to maintain and exacerbate intergroup tensions by mutual ignorance and suspicion (see Whyte, 1990 ;Gallagher, 1995 ; for segregation in Northern Ireland) , but also reinforce other forms of segregation (e.g. Boal, 1969 ) like separate schooling systems or different kinship networking . Such separation creates space for prejudice and stereotypes to fl ourish even more (Whyte, 1990 ) thereby maintaining negative intergroup evaluations between Albanians and Serbs in our case.…”

“…The socio-political processes that occurred have been analyzed in terms of urban transformation processes, explicitly or implicitly oriented towards segregation (Wiener 1980;Somma 1991;Boal 1996Boal , 2008. The individual and institutional responses to this extreme situation have been oriented towards accentuating physical and behavioural distances between conflicting communities, leaving visible traces in spite of the intense urban development initiated after the peace agreement.…”
