Migration
- Humans have always moved from one location to another to populate all majoe land
masses of the world except Antarctica
oMovements
Expanded the resource base available
Stimulated cultural change by requiring ongoing adaptations to new
environmental circumstances
- Why migrate?
oPush-pull logic: people move from one location to another b/c they consider the
new location to be favourable
oCan be sorted into four categories:
1) Economic (e.g., work0
2) Political (e.g., war)
3) Cultural (e.g., religious freedom)
4) Environmental (e.g., climate, natural disasters)
- Laws of migration: logic behind push-pull concept is place inequality
- The mobility transition: Migration depends on development
o5 proposed phases of temporal changes in migration
1) the pre-modern traditional society (little or no migration)
2) the early transitional society (modernization and Massive movement from
the country side to cities, rapid natural increase)
3) the late transitional society (rural-urban, increased urban to urban migration,
non-economic migration)
4) the advanced society (country side –cities, urban-suburban migration)
5) a future, super-advanced society (inter-urban or intra-urban migration)
- Behavioural explanation:
oShifts attention to the people themselves & away from the forces assumed to be
affection their decisions
oRelated concepts:
Place utility (how desirable a place is based on its social, economic and
environmental factors)
Spatial preferences
- Mooring:
oPerhaps the greatest limitation – particularly in push-pull logic, the laws of
migration & the mobility transition theory – is to base ideas on relatively (…

oThe mooring approach centres on the idea that individuals’ perception of their
current location & hence the likelihood of their either remaining there or
migrating to another location depends on their various moorings

Document Summary
Humans have always moved from one location to another to populate all majoe land masses of the world except antarctica: movements. Stimulated cultural change by requiring ongoing adaptations to new environmental circumstances. Laws of migration: logic behind push-pull concept is place inequality. The mobility transition: migration depends on development: 5 proposed phases of temporal changes in migration. 4: a future, super-advanced society (inter-urban or intra-urban migration) Behavioural explanation: shifts attention to the people themselves & away from the forces assumed to be affection their decisions, related concepts: Place utility (how desirable a place is based on its social, economic and environmental factors) 4 classes of migration (according to petersen, 1959: primitive: associated w/ pre-industrial peoples & caused by some ecological. Refugees: it is generally agreed that refugees are people forced to migrate, usually for political reasons (not always sometimes b/c of natural disasters) (escape was, persecution) The most reliable source of information on refugee numbers is the.
