Un percorso mixed per rilevare l'integrazione degli immigrati

Purpose of this work is the analysis of migrant integration dynamics. The research is carried out in the context of the city of Catania, but the method can be extended to different areas. The procedures used allows for both common processes and path-dependent dynamics. Mixed Methods literature supports the combination among mainly-qualitative (quanti-quali) and mainly-qualitative (quali-quanti) procedures. The first strategy proposes a cross-analysis between the results of a classical survey, and network analysis procedures. The second strategy proposes the lexicometric analysis of unstructured interviews to immigrants selected for their key-role as reference points for others. The final objective is to define a summary plan of the dynamics recorded. [Publisher's text].
