  Religion and Residential Search Behaviour in the Belfast Urban Area
 
 
Title: Religion and Residential Search Behaviour in the Belfast Urban Area
Author: Mcpeake, John
Appeared in: Housing studies
Paging: Volume 13 (1998) nr. 4 pages 527-548
Year: 1998-07-01
Contents: This paper presents the results of an investigation of the residential search behaviour of owner occupier households in the Belfast Urban Area (BUA). The study area is segregated on the basis of religion. The patterns of religious residential segregation can be traced back almost 200 years, and recent evidence shows that segregation continues to intensify. This suggests that the patterns are supported by contemporary residential decision-making. Whilst residential mobility has been subject to intensive research effort, by comparison the investigation of residential search behaviour has been neglected. The principal focus of this paper is to explore the similarities and differences in behaviour of Catholic and non-Catholic searchers as a first step in developing a better understanding of search in general and the role of religion in particular. The paper finds that Catholic household search differs significantly from that of other households. Interestingly, Catholic household search in Belfast is found to be consistent with minority household search in segregated urban areas of the US.
