| Tóm tắt: | For several decades, the issue of the intensification of urban segregation observed in large urban areas has been intertwined with the question of social homogeneity and cohesion in local relations and an increasing drive amongst policy makers in Western countries towards desegregation. Whilst previous scholarship has studied the role of neighborhood relations in the process of social homogenization, few of them has been devoted to contextualizing these network structures in terms of individuals’ social lives and how neighborhood structures fit into other overlapping social circles (work, friends, school, etc.). Based on a survey of personal networks conducted in 2017 in the Toulouse region, we study the place of neighborhood relationships in networks to see whether and to what extent these relationships contribute to the formation of “entre-soi” (understood as a sociability that is both homogeneous and cohesive). To that end, we distinguish between two types of local relationships: Relationships created with neighbors and those formed with what we call more-than-neighbors. Overall, this article finds that relationships with neighbors provides more social openness than relationships with more-than-neighbors and those outside the local space. It is rather the other contexts of activity (work, groups of friends, associations, etc.) that contribute to reinforce the homogeneity of personal networks and make them more cohesive. |
