“Title - 12345”<br />
The thesis investigates the conditions under which new residents are welcomed in two<br />
social housing neighborhoods in the municipality of <strong>Høje</strong>-Taastrup. Using Bourdieu’s<br />
concepts in a scaled down framework, we examine (1) the values of the institutions of<br />
the Danish social housing faced with the challenge of segregation in the Danish<br />
housing market and the associated problems of crime and poverty. Next, (2) we<br />
analyze the doxa of the areas in order to understand how the values of the institutions<br />
are received by the residents, and how the concrete institutions of the area<br />
complement this. Then (3) we profile four different residents who moved to the area<br />
recently, in order to show the complexities associated with relocation within a<br />
segregated housing market, as well as understanding the particular welcoming of the<br />
individuals interviewed. Finally we discuss the possibility of improving the<br />
welcoming of new residents. Stressing that know-how of institutions plays a major<br />
role in social structure of the neighborhoods, the study concludes among ot<strong>her</strong> things<br />
that the residents tendency to emphasize the physical conditions of their apartments<br />
holds a potential for greater social integration.<br />
