“…In der hierunter zu fassenden breiten Diskussion um den code of the street (Anderson 1999) werden ebensolche raumbegründeten Verhaltensweisen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse dieses Perzeptionsbefundes sind relativ eindeutig: Wenn der Raum als bedrohlich wahrgenommen wird, reagieren vor allem junge Männer mit einem spezifischen und kulturbeeinflussten Verhalten, welches letztendlich den Einsatz von Gewalt legitimiert, aber auch reguliert (Heitmeyer et al 2019, Intravia 2021. Vielleicht am breitesten ausgearbeitet ist der Partizipationsbefund.…”

Während immer neue Spaltungslinien wie soziale Ungleichheit, politische Polarisierung oder der Umgang mit Krisen zu gesellschaftlicher Fragmentierung führen, wird übersehen, dass Nachbarschaft im Alltag ein Potenzial für Zusammenhalt birgt. Das Buch geht daher der Frage nach, was Nachbarschaft eigentlich ist, und präsentiert zahlreiche empirische Befunde. Sebastian Kurtenbach zeigt, wie Nachbarschaft heute verstanden werden kann, welche Rolle Organisationen oder die Digitalisierung für das nachbarschaftliche Zusammenleben spielen, und welche Unterschiede zwischen Nachbarschaft in der Stadt und auf dem Land bestehen. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.de

“…Thus, it seems important to take a closer look at the relationship between sociocultural factors such as shared beliefs and norms within a given spatial context (e.g., a neighborhood or a whole town) and anti‐immigrant as well as right‐wing attitudes and behavior. The generally negative effect of poverty in neighborhoods on the socioeconomic status of their residents (Galster et al, 2008) and the willingness to engage in crime (Heitmeyer et al, 2019; Sampson et al, 1997) are well established empirically. Essentially, sociocultural factors within a spatial entity seem to help explain the perception and treatment of migrants, including the exclusion of and general hostility toward foreigners and people who are marked as “outsiders.” These spatial contexts are often less urbanized and suffer from a general social decline, but most importantly they are ethnically super‐homogenous.…”

While most Germans reacted welcoming toward newly arrived refugees in 2015 and 2016, parallelly overt hateful reactions such as hate crimes, social exclusion, and increasing right‐wing electoral support have been registered all over Germany with several regions emerging as “hot spots” in these regards. Among them was our case, the mid‐sized town of Bautzen in the state of Saxony, where intergroup conflict and violent clashes between locals and refugees caused news headlines. To analyze intergroup conflicts in the ethnically super‐homogenous context of Bautzen, we performed a qualitative interview study. More specifically, we conducted 48 semistructured interviews with residents and members of the victimized outgroup of refugees. Our analysis reveals that the societal basis of intergroup conflict in Bautzen seems to be a distinct climate of exclusion aimed at tagged outgroups. Refugees report facing everyday discriminatory practices and even violence. Further, this specific local climate is facilitated by several Bautzen‐specific characteristics on the macro level, such as low number of foreigners and high levels of right‐wing electoral support. Our findings suggest that limited diversity and widespread stereotypes affect locals' reactions toward and perception of refugees. We discuss our results in light of the intergroup contact hypothesis and encourage more qualitative research on the nexus of intergroup contact and intergroup conflict.
