Geo-Spatial Study on Neighbourhoods and Attitudes to Immigrants

Synopsis:

This study examines how the social and built environment influence attitudes to immigrants, community trust, and the formation of social capital. Based on a national survey involving more than 3,000 Singaporeans and permanent residents, we examine the geo-spatial connections between neighbourhood social norms and Singaporeans’ acceptance of immigrants and immigration policies. The study will also uncover the types of facilities and physical features that can make a positive change in perceptions, and those that may exacerbate tensions.
