Abstract
The majority of the refugees from the Islamic world that fled to the Netherlands have great
difficulties with integrating in the Dutch society which is probably best illustrated by the fact that
unemployment between them is higher than between any other ethnic group in the Netherlands. To
facilitate the integration-process of refugees the Dutch government carries out a policy that spatially
distributes the refugees over the different municipalities of the Netherlands consequently meaning
that an individual could possibly be assigned to housing in a large city but also to a small village.
What is critical here is that this distribution does not happen in mutual consultation with the refugee,
thus also disregarding any differences that might exist between these individuals.
