Numerosi studi evidenziano l’importanza del vicinato locale come "fattore della propria identità". Nel presente contributo vengono discussi l’interazione tra diverse affiliazioni e il conseguente effetto sulle decisioni degli immigrati per quanto concerne la scelta del vicinato. Lo studio si concentra sulle scelte residenziali dei nuclei familiari del ceto medio turco in Germania, analizzando le loro scelte di compromesso tra appartenenza locale e posizionamento sociale in fase di acquisto della proprietà.
