It is engaged in the terms that connect categories of (urban) space and enforced social exclusion.

Some of these socio-spatial terms could be traced in the works of the first pioneers of urban sociology, the others in the publications of their followers, including students of related disciplines (urban geography, urban planning, etc.).
