| Abstract |
This study aims to analyze the impact of social exclusion caused by spatial polarization of income in the city on social capital of citizens. In this study, spatial polarization of income is measured and classified into two levels of geographical scales (city- and neighborhood-wide level), and citizens' consciousness of trust, relationship and norms are set as three types of social capital. The results show that city-wide level spatial polarization of income is negatively associated with consciousness of trust and relationship, while neighborhood-wide level income mix positively affects on consciousness of relationship and norms. From these results, we can identify risks that can be caused by spatial polarization in city scale, and also find the necessity of social mix policy in neighborhood scale. Therefore, the social mix policy in Korea should focus on the spatial polarization in more macro-scale, as well as apartment complexes like current situation. |
