The article is based on a multidisciplinary research project that aimed to study mobility challenges that refugees in Tucson, Arizona experience after their resettlement. Using qualitative and quantitative data collected from interviews and survey data, we argue that mobility shapes the ways refugees foster social connections, attain employment and access educational opportunities. Accordingly, barriers to mobility negatively impact refugees' perception of well-being in post resettlement. However, these challenges are not experienced unevenly. Nor are refugees passive subjects who lack agency in overcoming various barriers they experience. The study also reveals the resilience of the refugee community in navigating the intersectional challenges they confront related to their mobility. We hope that the implications of this study can inform various stakeholders to better support refugees in navigating existing mobility and transportation challenges and to promote policy change that can increase better spatial mobility for all Tucson community members.

这篇文章基于一个多学科研究项目，该项目旨在研究亚利桑那州图森市的难民在重新安置后所面临的流动性挑战。我们使用从访谈和调查数据中收集的定性和定量数据，认为流动性塑造了难民促进社会联系、获得就业和获得教育机会的方式。因此，流动障碍会对难民在重新安置后的幸福感产生负面影响。然而，这些挑战的经历并非不均衡。难民也不是在克服他们所经历的各种障碍方面缺乏能动性的被动主体。该研究还揭示了难民社区在应对与他们的流动性相关的交叉挑战方面的弹性。
