The segregation or integration of minority groups is a core issue in contemporary urban fabrics. The literature tends to highlight the difference between ethnic groups while diversity within them receives less attention. This study addresses such differences by looking at Arab residents of ethnically mixed Israeli cities. Specifically, it highlights religious affiliation and community standing (in terms of being an old/new city) by comparing three Arab subgroups: Muslims and Christians from Haifa and Christians from Nof HaGalil. Uncovering these variations, we use Schnell’s multidimensional model of segregation/integration relating to 12 dimensions of economic, social, cultural and emotional capitals. The study employed 222 questionnaires and GPS loggers to track the respondents’ daily movements. The results reflected different patterns of integration/segregation between the three communities, with Haifa Christians exhibiting wider and deeper integration compared with Nof HaGalil’s Christian residents and Haifa Muslims. Additionally, the high diversity within each group demonstrates the complexities of integration/segregation processes combining structural issues and personal choices.

少数群体的隔离或融合是当代城市结构的核心问题。文献倾向于强调族群之间的差异，而族群内部的多样性受到的关注较少。本研究通过观察以色列民族城市中的阿拉伯居民来解决这些差异。具体而言，它通过比较三个阿拉伯亚群：来自海法的穆斯林和基督徒以及来自诺夫哈加利尔的基督徒，突出了宗教信仰和社区地位（就作为一个新旧城市而言）。为了揭示这些变化，我们使用 Schnell 的多维隔离/整合模型，涉及经济、社会、文化和情感资本的 12 个维度。该研究使用了 222 份问卷和 GPS 记录器来跟踪受访者的日常活动。结果反映了三个社区之间不同的融合/隔离模式，与 Nof HaGalil 的基督徒居民和海法穆斯林相比，海法基督徒表现出更广泛和更深入的融合。此外，每个群体内的高度多样性表明了结合结构问题和个人选择的整合/隔离过程的复杂性。
