  • 1. University of Zagreb

Description

The FOCUS project is undertaking detailed survey and focus group work with both refugees and members of receiving communities This work will add to the understanding of factors influencing integration with a particular emphasis on groups impacted by forced migration in recent years.

An early step in this work has been the undertaking of a systematic review of existing literature concerning the socio-psychological factors influencing the integration of refugees and members of the receiving communities. This review identifies factors and indicators which existing research has suggested as relevant and examines the most important concepts which are to be researched further by FOCUS.

The two research questions guiding this literature review were:

  • What are the factors and indicators of socio-psychological integration of refugees and receiving communities?
  • What are the impact factors of refugee migration on the receiving communities?

This Brief presents a short outline of the work and a link to an edited summary of the full report.
