ABSTRACT

This article presents a new conceptual and theoretical outlook on the municipal-demographic phenomenon of mixed cities, in which minority groups penetrate homogenous spaces. The findings show that the penetration of Jewish cities by Arab minorities in Israel has become widespread – especially in the periphery of the country. While the State and local authorities view this phenomenon as problematic – from a national, municipal, and demographic point of view, their solutions are limited to programmes that encourage increased Jewish residence in these cities to preserve the existing demographic advantage. Many of these mixed cities are characterised by increased tension between Arabs and Jews, decreased socioeconomic status, negative migration balance, and Arab minorities settling in the outskirts of the city or weaker neighbourhoods.

摘要

本文对混合城市的城市人口现象提出了新的概念和理论观点，其中少数群体渗透到同质空间。调查结果表明，以色列的阿拉伯少数民族对犹太城市的渗透已经变得普遍——尤其是在该国的周边地区。虽然州和地方当局认为这种现象有问题——从国家、市政和人口的角度来看，他们的解决方案仅限于鼓励犹太人在这些城市居住以保持现有人口优势的计划。许多这些混合城市的特点是阿拉伯人和犹太人之间的紧张局势加剧、社会经济地位下降、移民负平衡以及阿拉伯少数民族定居在城市郊区或较弱的社区。
