“…Our focus on racialisation, settlement, migration and leisure experiences meant that a broader quantitative approach would not have been as effective in elucidating the nuanced detail of these social processes (Stack & Iwasaki 2009;Stodolska & Walker 2007). We privileged the 'voice' of the new migrants and facilitated discussions across a range of language competencies through the use of mental mapping, photo-elicitation and qualitative interviews.…”

“…Las características socioeconómicas de los participantes sugiere que sus ingresos no sobrepasan el mínimo necesario para sustentar una vida totalmente satisfecha en sus necesidades básicas, siendo la base de problemáticas vinculadas con el ambiente en el que se desenvuelven los inmigrantes (Christenson, Zabriskie, Eggett y Freeman, 2006;Stack e Iwasaki, 2009). Resultados similares se han reportado en población chilena (Urzúa, Caqueo-Urízar, 2013), lo que podría evidenciar la fuerza contextual que tiene el entorno en la CV de los inmigrantes más que el hecho mismo de ser migrante.…”

ResumenBajo un diseño transversal se analiza el efecto de variables socio-demográficas, económicas y relacionales sobre la calidad de vida (CV) en 421 inmigrantes peruanos y colombianos en el norte de Chile. Para evaluar la CV se utilizó el cuestionario WHOQoL-Bref y un cuestionario sociodemográfico. Los resultados muestran que el dominio mejor evaluado en ambas poblaciones fue el físico, en tanto el peor evaluado fue el ambiental. Las variables sociodemográficas que resultaron con mayor predicción en los dominios fueron la edad, nivel de ingresos mensuales, con quien vive y si se encuentra en pareja. Este estudio espera contribuir al desarrollo de políticas migratorias integrales, sobre todo en torno a la CV de las personas que viven el proceso migratorio día a día, a fin de fomentar su bienestar, prevenir problemas de salud, así como fomentar la integración y la adaptación a la nueva cultura. Palabras clave: inmigración, calidad de vida y bienestar. AbstractUnder a cross-sectional design, we analyzed the effect of socio-demographic-economic-relational variables on quality of life (QoL) in a sample of 421 Peruvian and Colombian immigrants in northern Chile. To assess the QoL was used the WHOQOL-Bref and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results show that the best domain assessed in both populations was the physical, while the worst was the environmental domain. Sociodemographic variables that were most predictive in the domains were age, level of monthly income, with whom you live and whether you are a couple. This study hopes to contribute to the development of comprehensive migration policies, especially regarding the QoL of people living daily migration process, to promote their well-being, prevent health problems and to promote the integration and adaptation to the new culture.

“…Leisure provides opportunities for networking and enabling migrants to explore economic opportunities, but it also offers means of coming into contact with the receiving society, thereby gaining knowledge of its daily routines, cultural outlook and much more besides (Kloeze, 2001;Stack & Iwasaki, 2009). For example, Romaniszyn's argument (2008) concerning Bosnian refugee families in Sweden is that food preparation and consumption is not only a venue for maintaining normalcy and retaining ethnic identity (e.g.…”

“…Within these new contexts, leisure time takes on a new meaning as it provides opportunities for getting to know the cultures of receiving societies (Kloeze, 2001;Stack & Iwasaki, 2009) and providing opportunities to make contact with the mainstream population who may be of a different linguistic or cultural group to the migrants (Kim, 2012;Stodolska & Alexandris, 2004;Stodolska & Yi, 2003). Within this kind of context, food consumption, in particular, has been identified as a vehicle for maintaining normalcy within the receiving society (Romaniszyn, 2008) and thus, this study focuses on the nexus of eating and drinking as a leisure activity that helps interprovincial migrants position themselves within their new homelands.…”

China's recent interprovincial migrants are the result of the institutional reform of its hukou system. This research analyses one of the interprovincial migrants' leisure activities, yum cha, to explore the meaning of leisure for their adaptation and integration to the receiving society. This research aims at two key questions: what access interprovincial migrants obtain from yum cha to social contact and how migrants conceive of this leisure experience. The main findings are based on semi-structural interviews conducted in several restaurants in Guangzhou city. The interpretations of interprovincial migrants' leisure experience in urban China are concluded into four themes: learning the local dialect and customs; building and maintaining a social group; the reconstruction of individual identity; and the development of a sense of belonging.
