German term or phrase: sozialräumlich
Ich übersetze das Kurzkonzept für eine Jugendarbeitsgruppe.

Der Satz lautet ganz:
Die Mobile Jugendarbeit erreicht mit ihren Methoden eine spezielle Qualität im Zugang zur Zielgruppe: Sie arbeitet, - begründet durch eine fundierte *sozialräumliche* Bewertung - in einem klar definierten Einsatzgebiet, wodurch eine kontinuierliche Kontakthaltung möglich wird.

"social space" und "social area" treffen es glaub ich nicht ganz. Vorschläge?
