Page 4: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration Between Regions Within the United States

• Colonial Settlement: population concentration along Atlantic coast. Why?

• Intervening obstacles (mountains, thick forests, and hostile Indians)

Page 5: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration Between Regions Within the

United States• Early Settlement in the

Interior: transportation improvement opened up settlement. How?

• Erie Canal linked NYC to Great Lakes. Allowed farmers to move west.

Page 6: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration Between Regions Within the United States

• Migration to California: Gold Rush & unsuitable farm land in the great plains rapidly sped the way for the population center to shift west.

Page 7: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration Between Regions Within the United States

• Settlement of the Great Plains: rate slowed westward b/c European migration

• Land grants and technological improvements to farm Great Plains

Page 8: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration Between Regions Within the

United States

• Recent growth of the South: pop moved 250 miles west (1940 to 2000). Moved southward 75 mi. Why?

• Jobs and climate (area known = Sunbelt)

Page 9: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration Between Regions in Other Countries

• Russia: built mines and factories near raw materials.

• Far North: 45% of land (< 2% pop) solution?

• Forced migration• Collapse of USSR: ended

government sponsored “optimal locations” for factories.

Brazil

• New Capital: Brazil moved capital 600 miles to the interior. Why?

Page 11: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Indonesia

• Indonesia: incentives to move from Java (2/3 pop) to other islands.

• One-way air ticket, 5 acres, building material, seeds, and pesticides, and a year worth of rice.

Page 12: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Europe

• Follow the $$$: former colonies and poorer European countries migrated North and West.

Page 13: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

India

• Gov. Permits: limit migration within to protect local economies and ethnic identity.

Page 14: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration Within One Region

• Urbanization Trend• MDC: ¾ urban

population• LDC: since 1982 same

trend is happening (23% to 42% in Asia)

Page 15: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration from urban to Suburban Areas

• MDC: intraregional migration from cities to suburbs (2:1 ratio)

• Pull factor: NOT JOBS but WHAT?

• Bigger, access, & more privacy

Page 16: Why Do People Migrate Within a Country?

Migration from Urban to Rural Areas

• Counterurbanization: MDC experienced more people moving to rural than moving to urban. WHY?

• Rat race versus the farm• What makes it possible?• Modern

communications & transportation

Gentrification: the restoration of run-down urban areas by the middle class (resulting in the displacement of low-income residents).
