dc.description.abstractThis bachelor thesis investigates the division caused by the coming of a refugee centre in the local community of Midden-Delfland in the Netherlands. It tries to uncover this by looking at the reasons why the refugee centre exists as the main method of sheltering refugees. In addition to this the frames provided through media coverage are uncovered, and the local reaction to the place is analysed. To achieve this result a qualitative study was done including a policy analysis on local policy, national policy and EU policy, a media analysis on the frames present in local and national media, several semi-structured interviews with the inhabitants of Midden-Delfland and an interview with the councilmembers of a local political party. To analyse these results the theoretical framework of Bordering, Ordering and Othering was utilised. The result was that through policy the refugee centre, was separated from its environment, which made way for the media to provide this place distinct identity through framing to which eventually resulted in the refugee being othered by the local inhabitants of Midden-Delfland, with the imbalance caused by these processes of bordering, ordering and othering resulting in a division in the municipality.
