THE LANDSCAPE OF MIGRATION: THE SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS OF RECENT MIGRATION IN EUROPE

The refereed journal Landscape Research invites authors to submit original papers to be included in a Special Issue on 'The Landscape of
Migration' focusing on the impact of recent  migration on the landscape of Europe.

At the turn of the 21st century international migration has become the focus of much academic enquiry as changing political and economic
structures have resulted in massive movements of people. Since the 1980s many European countries have become attractive destinations for
foreign migrants, who after the collapse of their economies and the resulting increase in unemployment, are seeking work and better
opportunities. This is not only the outcome of individuals in search of better conditions but it is a more complex phenomenon with implications for
the countries involved. Contemporary debates about space and place take into account these processes drawing attention to issues such as
identity, multiculuralism and hibridity.

Suggested themes:
Cartographies of migration on European landscape. Mapping spatial change
The role of borders. Is the concept of belonging still relevant?
How migration affects the spatial structure of urban or rural areas
The experience of place-making by migrants and the process of adjusting to the new environment. The perception of home
The notion of hybridity in the built environment
Marginalised and segregated spaces. The experience of spatial inclusion and exclusion
The use of domestic and public space by migrants.
Transformation or translocation of cultures? Is the use of space by migrant groups determined by its spatial structure or by other socio-cultural
aspects?
Comparative studies on the provision of social housing in european countries
Migration in relation to national policies on housing and spatial development.
