“…The relevance of relatedness is reported by many studies, such as a study about Ukrainian immigrants in Poland, where it was found that migrants who had strong ties with the Polish people were more strongly attached to Warsaw, which in turn increased their willingness to stay in Poland [ 67 ]. A Dutch study on Syrian refugees reported that many of those who had been assigned a home in small Dutch communities often moved to bigger urban areas where more Syrians could be found [ 68 ]. Finally, a study on Afghan refugees in Finland highlighted how different individuals from the same community have different resettlement experiences and need different adapters to establish a successful relationship with the new place [ 69 ].…”

“…The allocation of asylum seekers across the national territory has happened in a quasi-random basis (Campo et al, 2020), whereas the majority of SAI facilities are concentrated in southern Italy, where job opportunities are lower relative to northern Italy. Settlement into socially deprived urban and rural areas can also affect people's integration, as RAS are more likely to experience hostility and institutionalized marginality (Sanò and Della Puppa, 2021;van Liempt and Miellet, 2021). Similarly, isolated (mountainous) areas do not seem to favor the integration of RAS (Cottino, 2021), given the limited (seasonal) job opportunities and lack of services targeting migrants in these areas.…”

“…However, the implementation of integration policies is challenged by a series of structural, contextual and individual factors. These may include (a) policies regulating access to asylum and recognition of refugees' and asylum seekers' (RAS) qualifications and skills (Federico and Baglioni, 2021 ); (b) dispersal policies (van Liempt and Miellet, 2021 ); (c) local authorities' initiatives and bureaucracies' acts in favor of or against newly arrived people (Hinger et al, 2016 ); (d) the role of the civil society in facilitating or hindering integration processes (Dimitriadis et al, 2021 ); and (e) language barriers and psychological distress among newly arrived people due to the situation in their home country, experiences during the journey and waiting times for a decision on their asylum status (Federico and Baglioni, 2021 ).…”

“…But urban areas are also attractive in themselves, as qualitative interviews with refugees reveal. Most importantly, cities offer better public transportation to refugees who typically cannot afford a car, they have better medical and mental facilities for refugees suffering consequences of war, and the local administration of cities is often better equipped to support refugees (Careja 2019;van Liempt and Miellet 2021). On top of that, refugees seek the generally more multicultural atmosphere of cities which renders non-white phenotypes less salient and promises fewer experiences of discrimination (Maxwell 2019).…”
