摘要

The 2000 U.S. Census indicates legal immigrants have reached a record population of 31.1 million. Data suggest growth will continue, significantly impacting housing markets. To better understand the residential choices of immigrants in U.S. housing markets, this dissertation tests the premise that residential choice results from the interaction of residential goals, and constraints and facilitators, and investigates the assertion that residential goals grow out of deeply held cultural ideals, residential experiences and short-term demands.; This qualitative case study of the ACTS Landmark Housing Program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and immigrants Hmong homeowners within the program, investigates three research questions: (1) What are the short-term residential goals and long-term residential ideals of Hmong Landmark participants; are those goals and ideals linked to cultural characteristics and experiences? (2) What specifically has facilitated homeownership for Hmong households who have become owners through the Landmark Housing Program? (3) What are the outcomes of Hmong residential choice taking place within the Landmark Housing Program; what are the behavioral and attitudinal consequences of those outcomes?; This study used participant observation, depth interviews, and archival data within the program and semi-structured interviews within 42 immigrant homeowner households; additionally, physical conditions, activities and behaviors were observed and documented. Qualitative data analysis used "explanation-building"-type pattern matching; resulting patterns address three areas of residential choice: (1) inputs, (2) choice and (3) outcomes. This study reveals six Hmong cultural characteristics that influence residential choice inputs: (1) large household size, (2) extended-family household structure, (3) strong kinship ties, (4) Hmong traditional religion, (5) Hmong desire to maintain ethnic identity and (6) swidden agriculturalists. The study identifies five conditions Hmong study participants have experienced that influence Hmong participants' residential choice inputs: (1)economic marginality, (2) feeling unsafe because of crime, (3) discrimination, and (4&5) lack of control over use and physical quality of residential environments. Hmong informal networks and Landmark program staff are primary direct facilitators of Hmong homeownership within this program. Environmental quality profiles link each study participant's goals with outcome assessments. Study findings reveal: (1) potential to identify and exploit strengths within immigrant cultures to improve housing provision and quality, (2) ways to increase facilitation of immigrant homeownership, and (3) increased insights concerning cultural change within residential contexts.

(2)通过“地标性住房计划”成为房主的苗族家庭有什么特别的便利? (3)在“地标性住房计划”中选择苗族居住会有什么结果;这些结果的行为和态度后果是什么?这项研究在计划中使用了参与者观察,深度访谈和档案数据,并在42个移民房主家庭中进行了半结构化访谈。此外,观察并记录了身体状况,活动和行为。定性数据分析使用“解释构建”类型的模式匹配;由此产生的模式涉及居民选择的三个领域:(1)投入,(2)选择和(3)结果。这项研究揭示了影响住民选择输入的六个苗族文化特征:(1)家庭规模庞大;(2)家庭家庭结构庞大;(3)亲戚关系牢固;(4)苗族传统宗教;(5)苗族渴望维持族裔认同和(6)陷入困境的农业主义者。该研究确定了苗族研究参与者经历过的五个条件,这些条件会影响苗族参与者的住所选择输入:(1)经济边际,(2)因犯罪而感到不安全,(3)歧视和(4&5)对使用和身体的控制不足居住环境的质量。苗族非正式网络和Landmark计划人员是该计划中苗族房屋所有权的主要直接促进者。环境质量概况将每个研究参与者的目标与结果评估联系起来。研究结果表明:(1)潜在地发现和利用移民文化中的优势来改善住房供应和质量;(2)促进移民住房所有权便利的方法;(3)在居住环境中对文化变革的见解有所增加。
