“…The metropolitan and urban economic poles in the Oporto Metropolitan Area mainly attract highly qualified immigrants, irrespective of their ethnic-cultural origin (Rebelo, 2010a). The decision tree that characterizes residential location shows that professional designation is stronger than country of origin as a partition criterion.…”

“…Although seldom used to study settlement patterns, hierarchical classification trees complement other currently used methodologies: factor analysis, which reveals differentiation patterns, and regression analysis, which identifies the explicit functional relations between settlement patterns and their underlying variables (Rebelo, 2010a). Application of these trees conveys common in situ characteristics of settlement (at the micro scale).…”

“…Bearing in mind that residence and work locations are closely linked in immigration decisions, and that immigrants’ local contacts and networks lead them to their ethnic-cultural communities, the first classification tree relates Parish of residence with Country of origin, Economic activity, Professional group, Professional designation, Employment situation and Professional situation . A second tree is designed that identifies the Municipality of work as a function of the Country of origin, Parish of residence and Employment situation (Rebelo and Paiva, 2006; Rebelo, 2010a). These settlement patterns are then discussed and explained in light of their underlying theoretical reasons, taking into account the particular characteristics of the area studied.…”

The research reported in this article aims to explain the residential and work location patterns of different groups of immigrants living in a particular metropolitan area, based on the following underlying causes: socio-spatial differentiation resulting from the characteristics of urban economies, the performance of housing and labour markets, spatial and socioeconomic/professional mobility, and immigrants’ own characteristics. Within this scope, census data are analysed and cartographically displayed, and classification trees are applied in order to understand the relationship between the residential and work locations of the different population groups and their respective demographic, economic and professional characteristics, on the one hand, and land occupation densities, on the other. Although this methodology is applied to the Oporto Metropolitan Area (Portugal), it can easily be used in other urban and metropolitan areas.

“…The hypothesis is that immigrant population of Barcelona city is located primarily in those areas of lower quality housing and that this immigrants concentration areas with lower quality housing index matches with the lower housing prices. On this research it was made the Housing Quality Index (iQviv), and the Housing Characteristics Index (iCviv), and it was observed their correlation with the Immigrant Concentration Index (ICI) and the evolution of the Housing Value from 2004-2010 Observing that the areas with lower housing quality index and where immigrants are concentrated not always matches with the areas that have the lower real estate prices.…”

Diferentes autores mantienen que el sistema de precio de suelo y vivienda existente es un factor que perpetúa la segregación residencial y la desigualdad, situación que se agrava cuando se refiere a algunos grupos de inmigrantes que terminan alojándose en espacios degradados con características por debajo de las mínimas legales de habitabilidad (CORTÉS, 2000; MUSTERD, 2003). Se parte de la hipótesis que la población inmigrante del municipio de Barcelona, se ubica principalmente en esas zonas de menor calidad de vivienda y, que estas zonas de concentración de inmigrantes y menor calidad coinciden con las viviendas de menor precio. Se construyó el Índice de Calidad (iQviv) y el Índice de Características (iCviv) de viviendas. Observando su relación con el Índice de Concentración de Inmigrantes y la evolución del valor de la vivienda 2004-2010 en Barcelona se constató que no siempre las zonas con menor índice de calidad de vivienda y donde se concentran los inmigrantes coincide con las que presentan los precios inmobiliarios más bajos. El mercado inmobiliario es un factor determinante de la estructura socio-espacial de la ciudad, a través del cual se puede modificar el modelo de ciudad que se desea alcanzar respecto a la concentración de colectivos y segregación social. La estrategia residencial gubernamental (localización, régimen de tenencias, diversidad de usos) debe orientar las ciudades hacia la mixtura socio-espacial, la convivencia y el desarrollo social. Y tener mayor incidencia sobre el mercado residencial a fin de evitar una sobrevaloración de la vivienda y especulación de la misma aprovechándose de la necesidad y posibilidades de acceso a la vivienda reducidas de la población más desfavorecida. Different authors have linked the existing land and housing price system as a factor that perpetuates residential segregation and inequality, this situation is exacerbated when it comes to some immigrant groups that end in degraded areas with characteristics below the minimum legal for habitability (CORTÉS, 2000; MUSTERD, 2003). The hypothesis is that immigrant population of Barcelona city is located primarily in those areas of lower quality housing and that this immigrants concentration areas with lower quality housing index matches with the lower housing prices. On this research it was made the Housing Quality Index (iQviv), and the Housing Characteristics Index (iCviv), and it was observed their correlation with the Immigrant Concentration Index (ICI) and the evolution of the Housing Value from 2004-2010, in Barcelona. Observing that the areas with lower housing quality index and where immigrants are concentrated not always matches with the areas that have the lower real estate prices. The housing market is a determinant factor of the social-spatial structure of the city, through which it can be changed the city model to be achieved related with concentration of groups and social segregation. The government residential strategy (in terms of location, tenure arrangements, diversity of uses) should guide the city towards socio-spatial mix, coexistence, and social development of the population. Also it should have a greater impact on the residential market in order to avoid housing speculation and overvaluation, instead of taking advantage of the immigrant population needs, and therefore reducing their possibilities of housing access to.
