  abstract     = {{The environments of living in temporary accommodation centers for asylum-seeking migrants have prompted many researchers to question the nature of these spaces in relation to the temporal aspect of navigating an asylum application. The physical isolation of the structures, paired with the unique legal restrictions residents must abide by, can be potentially conducive to chronic social exclusion and damages to wellbeing. The thesis aims to contextualize these wider issues within the landscapes of Skåne, Sweden, looking at two centers in particular. The nature of the inquiry is qualitative, to allow for a deeper exploration of these themes with participants. The study finds that the Swedish Migration Agency’s efforts to reduce attractiveness of seeking asylum in Sweden can be seen as evident through its minimal support to residents and unresponsive demeanor. External organizations play a large role in facilitating activity and returning some to a present mindset, a challenge in which many endure living at these centers.}},
