Migration is a global phenomenon; the number of migrants and refugees worldwide has risen rapidly in recent decades - and especially in recent years. These developments come with the need to better understand the living conditions of migrants and refugees and the processes of integration in order to ensure peaceful and sustainable integration in societies. Surveys are an effective means of data collection in this regard. From a methodological point of view, however, a number of challenges are associated with surveys among migrants and refugees. These proceedings, which mainly draw on the contributions to an international symposium, focus on the survey questionnaire, its translation and adaptation as well as on cultural and linguistic challenges encountered during fieldwork. The goal of this publication is to draw attention to the methodological challenges in migration and refugee research in order to foster the collection of valid and reliable data.... view less

Migration ist ein globales Phänomen. Die Zahl der Migranten und Flüchtlinge weltweit ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten - und insbesondere in den letzten Jahren - stark angestiegen. Mit dieser Entwicklung geht auch die Notwendigkeit einher, die Lebenssituation von Migranten und Flüchtlingen, ihre Bedürfnisse sowie die Prozesse der Integration besser zu verstehen, um so ein friedliches und nachhaltiges Zusammenwachsen in den Gesellschaften zu ermöglichen. Umfragen sind hier ein probates Mittel der Datenerhebung. Aus methodischer Sicht sind jedoch eine Reihe von Herausforderungen mit Umfragen unter Migranten und Flüchtlingen verbunden. Dieser Sammelband, der im Wesentlichen aus den Beiträgen eines internationalen Symposiums entstanden ist, fokussiert auf dem Fragebogen, seiner Übersetzung und Adaptation sowie auf kulturellen und sprachlichen Besonderheiten der Feldarbeit. Ziel dieser Publikation ist es, auf die methodischen Besonderheiten in der Migrations- und Flüchtlingsforschung aufmerksam zu machen, um die Erhebung von validen und reliablen Daten zu fördern.... view less
