Since early 2016, in the context of the so-called ‘refugee crisis’, a series of accommodation policies for asylum seekers were developed in Greece under the regime of ‘emergency’, consisting of two pillars: On the one hand, the ‘campisation’ of accommodation in the mainland and, on the other hand, urban apartments. This article sheds light on the uneven geographies of accommodation policies for asylum seekers in metropolitan Athens, by investigating in a complementary way the aforementioned distinct – yet intertwined – types of accommodation. Through the lens of ‘precarity of place’, it argues that asylum accommodation in Athens reproduces multiple geographies of precarity through (a) filtering mechanisms based mainly on vulnerability categorisations, (b) socio-spatial isolation and segregation, and (c) a no-choice basis and extensive control of everyday habitation. The article explores the impact of the above on the everyday lives, socio-spatial relationships, and processes of belonging of asylum seekers, as well as on how they experience – and sometimes contest – precarity of place. The research, conducted in metropolitan Athens, is based on a mixed-methods approach that includes critical policy analysis and interviews with asylum seekers accommodated in camps and apartments, and representatives of institutional actors involved in the accommodation sector.

多地域不稳定:希腊首都雅典寻求庇护者的住宿政策

自 2016 年初以来,在所谓的“难民危机”背景下,希腊在“紧急”制度下制定了一系列针对寻求庇护者的住宿政策,包括两大支柱:一方面,“难民营” ' 大陆的住宿,另一方面,城市公寓。本文通过以互补的方式调查上述不同但又相互交织的住宿类型,揭示了雅典大都会寻求庇护者的住宿政策地域不均衡。通过“地方不稳定”的视角,它认为雅典的庇护所通过 (a) 主要基于脆弱性分类的过滤机制,(b) 社会空间隔离和隔离,再现了多个不稳定的地理区域,(c) 无选择的基础和对日常居住的广泛控制。本文探讨了上述内容对寻求庇护者的日常生活、社会空间关系和归属过程的影响,以及他们如何体验(有时是对抗)地方不稳定的影响。这项在雅典大都市进行的研究基于一种混合方法,包括批判性政策分析和对安置在营地和公寓中的寻求庇护者以及参与住宿部门的机构参与者的代表的采访。
