This is because urban space has become increasingly multifaceted over recent decades, and the boundaries of socio-spatial segregation have also become increasingly subtle, often taking invisible forms below the neighborhood level. This study contributes to the literature on microsegregation by exploring small-scale forms of social disparities in one of the neighborhoods of Szeged, a second-tier city in Hungary. We used both quantitative and qualitative research methods to capture visible and invisible forms of microsegregation in the study area. An analysis of census data confirmed the coupling of socio-economic diversity and polarization at the census-tract level in three different forms as a result of various underlying factors, among which the sorting effect of the housing market plays a leading role. The results of in-depth interviews with experts and residents suggest that although the overall perception of the neighborhood is good and that serious conflicts do not occur, there are palpable socio-spatial differences and signs of segregation at the micro scale. The weak sense of segregation can be partly linked to the lack of public spaces where daily encounters between people from different social groups could take place.

Surface runoff harvesting is a historical water delivery system utilized in times of water scarcity to fulfill the ever-increasing demand for water, address climate change, and prevent desertification. However, the study of snowmelt and flood water harvesting in steppe areas with cold and semi-arid climates are understudied in the international literature. This paper, combining remote sensing (RS) and a geographic information systems (GIS)-based analytical hierarchy process (AHP), provides a cost-efficient and reliable tool for assessing potential farm pond sites in the steppe region of Northern Kazakhstan. The research is based on six weighted thematic layers: hydrogeology (5%), slope (10%), drainage density (25.5%), land use/land cover (25.5%), soil (5%), and snow water equivalent (29%), which mainly influence the availability, runoff, infiltration, and accumulation of snowmelt and flood water, in order to identify potential farm pond sites in the Akkayin district (North Kazakhstan). As a result, 3.3% of the study area had a very high potential, 35.5% high, 56.5% medium, 4.6% low, and only 0.1% was recognized as the least preferred. The most suitable sites had medium drainage density, low slope, high snow water equivalent, and were located on flooded vegetation. The accuracy of our model was assessed using the existing farm pond sites from the Soviet era, which showed 82% coincidence. Furthermore, by collecting meltwater from 30% of the study area (135,000 ha), one-fourth of the cultivated land in the Akkayin district (i.e., 54,000 ha) could be transferred to deficit irrigation. This would reduce floods, stabilize farmers’ income in dry years, and open up the possibility of cultivating other highly profitable crops. Overall, the study provides evidence of the great potential of the Akkayin district in snow meltwater harvesting in farm ponds as a response to agricultural drought and spring floods.

The implication of space in the reproduction of inequality has been extensively discussed in the literature; however, the social consequences of spatial hierarchies at the microscale are largely neglected. Among these hierarchies, the unequal distribution of socio-economic groups by floors in apartment buildings (i.e. vertical segregation) is probably the major form of micro-segregation. In this study, the patterns of vertical segregation in Athens and Budapest were investigated using microdata from the 2011 Greek and Hungarian censuses. The research findings reveal that the level of vertical segregation varies according to the diversity of quality within segments of the housing stock in both cities, with older buildings being more vertically segregated. Moreover, the study demonstrates that despite differences in the broader socio-economic and political framework and housing systems, the vertical segregation of occupational groups follows similar patterns in both cities, where high-status groups tend to occupy upper levels and lower-class people are more concentrated at lower levels. The findings of this study provide an empirical basis for the analysis of social mix produced in different contextual frameworks of vertical segregation and raise questions about urban policies that can reduce the negative effects of micro-segregation for those who enjoy social mix at the expense of low housing quality in the affordable part of the stock.
