In order to be able to analyse the incentives for rural municipalities to support an offensive politics on nature preservation, a demographic model, with focus on migration, is built up. The demographic model is to integrated into LINE, a regional macro economic model at municipality level for Denmark. By that, it is possible to carry out model calculations to judge upon the effects from demographic changes on disposable income employment, production etc. The focus is upon people''s incentives to move to municipalities with a "green profile", and the effects of this.

Analyzes the massive internal migration of Brazil, primarily from the Northeast to the Southeast, & seeks to understand this migration as not just the result of the dynamic of the industrial sector but also from the survival & reproduction strategies of rural society. A summary of the migratory activity from the concentration of industrial activities in the 1930s through the 1970s is presented. Various theoretical approaches to migration are then discussed. To explore the migration paths of individuals & families over a life span, migratory trends are examined first from the 1930s to the 1960s, then from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, & finally into the 1980s. The last section takes a closer look at migration trajectories & life cycles by examining specific cases. Findings show there is no single migration pattern in relation to a life cycle but rather a diversified combination of existing alternatives. 3 Tables, 25 References. M. James

Spurred by major changes in the world economy and in local ecology, the contemporary migration of Africans, both within the continent and to various destinations in Europe and North America, has seriously affected thousands of lives and livelihoods. The contributors to this volume, reflecting a variety of disciplinary perspectives, examine the causes and consequences of this new migration. The essays cover topics such as rural-urban migration into African cities, transnational migration, and the experience of immigrants abroad, as well as the issues surrounding migrant identity and how Afri

This paper aims to visualize historical traces and patterns of migration flows in China, based on survey data ranging from 1949 to 2012. The software Circos, which has been applied in other subjects such as genomics, is utilized to visualize migration flows and explore migration patterns. According to the key political, societal and economic criteria, the data is divided into six historical periods in order to investigate specific styles of policies and regulations. According to geographical and economic considerations, all provinces are classified into nine clusters or economic zones to inspect interactions between each two economic zones. The data shows that migration patterns are mainly influenced by two pivotal factors, the political mechanism and economy spontaneity. For different periods, these two forces vary accordingly. Before 1979, the migration pattern was more affected by political factors such as national planning, specific policies and regulations, and social and political movements; the economy as well as resources and opportunities were governed and allocated by political considerations, and the mechanism of economy spontaneity was relatively weak. In contrast, intrinsic spontaneity is more and more obvious after 1980. The pattern of migration is more influenced by economic factors, as more migration is driven by economic differences between unbalanced areas. With less and less regulation and fewer restrictions, people spontaneously migrated to more developed areas or cities looking for better employment, education, and other resources.
