Migration
A permanent change in residence to outside one’s
community of origin.
Occurs at various spatial scales:
rural-to-urban
urban-to-urban
global (between countries)

Mobility
• Part of American experience
• Mobility is high in developed countries with immigrant background
• Migration in the past as a predictor of future migration.

• Regional and sub-regional shifts in population
• Net migration
• Migration patterns reflect:- location of states- historical patterns of movement- changing economic geography- perceptions about places

Refugee
A permanent change in residence to outside one’s community of origin. Migration
A move across international borders.
Movements of ideas, information, money, products, and people between places. Spatial Interaction
Immigration
A well-defined migration channel from a specific origin to a particular destination. Migration Stream

Reasons to move from a particular place. Push Factors
Reasons to move to a particular place. Pull Factors
The percentage gain or loss of population due to migration. It is calculated as in-
migrants minus out-migrants divided by the total population, all times 100.
Positive numbers indicate net gain; negative numbers indicate net loss.
Net Migration Rate
The tendency for certain types of people to migrate. Age, education, and other sociodemographic characteristics are
________ ________ factors.
Migration Selectivity
Money sent by immigrants from host country to home country. Remittances
![Page 21: Chapter 4 Newton’s First Law of Migration: The Gravity Model](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649e225503460f94b0f371/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A model to predict spatial interaction, where size (population) is directly
related to interaction and distance is inversely related to interaction.
Gravity Model
The declining intensity of an activity with increasing distance from its point of origin.
Distance Decay
