As the number of foreign immigrants increases, the ‘ethnic district’ is emerging in Korea. The purpose of this study is to find out not only the effect of 'ethnic district' on the residents and the neighborhood, but also the native residents’ reaction towards the advent of ethnic district. The study is based on the survey conducted in Garibongdong and Daelimdong, which are known for ethnic district of Korean-Chinese. Through factor analysis, effects of foreigners on the neighborhood are categorized into four factors― environmental management, crime/conflict, education/culture, and economic revitalization. These four factors are set as independent variables and used in the ordered logistic model in combination with dependent variables, which are housing satisfaction, inclination to migrate, intention to form a social relationship with foreigners. The result shows that the housing satisfaction correlates with the environmental management and revitalization of the economy. In other words, when the residents think that the foreigners participate well in environmental management and revitalization, the housing satisfaction in the district increases as well. However, crime/conflict factor does not show the significance in all three models. The negative effect of educational or cultural aspects may diminish the social interaction between natives and immigrants. |
