摘要
自1965年以來，美國移民的增加帶來了亞裔人口的快速成長。到1990年，美國各大都會的亞裔居民數目可觀，空間隔離與融合的型態已引發研究的興趣。本研究利用新的人口普查資料，探討美國亞裔居民，在1980至1990年空間隔離的變化。我們分析的重點放在華人與日本人，也考慮到菲律賓人、印度人、韓國人與越南人在1990年的隔離狀況。總體來說，亞裔空間隔離屬低到中等。雖然某些亞裔族群呈現中高度隔離，卻沒有任何族群出現空間孤立的狀況，或非裔美國人的貧民窟現象。一般而言，亞裔的空間融合前景看來是良好的。

Abstract
Owing to a remarkable expansion of immigration since 1965, the Asian population of the United States has grown rapidly in recent years. By 1990, many U.S. metropolitan areas had come to house substantial Asian populations, raising interest in patterns and processes of spatial assimilation for diverse Asian groups. This analysis updates prior work by analyzing data from the 1990 U.S. Census. We describe trends in the degree of segregation and spatial isolation between 1980 and 1990 for Asians in general and for the Chinese and Japanese, the two groups with the longest history in the United States. We then consider levels of segregation for Filipinos, Indians, Koreans, and Vietnamese in 1990, and measure the degree to which Asians segregation varies with socioeconomic status. Results show that Asians experience low to moderate segregation as a whole. Moreover, even though some subgroups display moderate to high levels of residential dissimilarity, indicating an uneven settlement pattern, no group provided any indication of spatial isolation or “ghettoization” in the manner of African Americans. In general, the prospects for Asian spatial assimilation seem good.
