Migration through the rural-urban hierarchy: Canadian patterns.

"The objective in this study has been to produce...a comprehensive inventory and analysis of the transfer of Canada's population between the rural and urban sectors and of the pattern of population exchange between the various levels of the urban hierarchy. The hierarchical exchanges have been investigated both for Canada's rural-urban system in the aggregate and for the regional subsystems operating within each of the five major geographic divisions of the nation: the Atlantic Region, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, and British Columbia. Differences in the pattern of movement through the hierarchy have also been explored for age-specific groups of the population, including young adults, the middle-aged, and the elderly." Data are from the 1976 Canadian census and cover the period 1971-1976. (SUMMARY IN FRE)

[Some demographic aspects of urban sprawl in Montreal from 1971 to 1991 and the implications for metropolitan management].

"Urban sprawl over the last two decades has changed the relationships between the central city and its suburb, as the urban character of the suburb asserts itself. Data on migrations and commuting inside Montreal show diminishing contracts between the suburbanites and the central city, indicating that Montreal...is experiencing this process of 'urbanization' of its suburb as well. However, the downtown area keeps a large part of its attractiveness: it is still visited by many suburbanites who nevertheless live in a different environment." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

[Migration, urbanization, and development policy in Senegal].

"The various studies focussing on human settlements in Senegal show that the share of population living in cities is ever increasing because of the massive and continuous flow from rural areas. The persistance of such migration trends from the country to cities deepens regional disparities, compounds the difficulties and cost of city management and development, specially in the case of Dakar, and runs counter to the goals of social and economic development plans.... The growing importance of such phenomena calls for the designing of corrective measures in favour of rural areas and small towns in order to settle rural populations and halt the inordinate and chaotic geographical growth of large cities. Failing this, development efforts may well be compromised." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Trends of mobility and flows of spatial moves of population in postwar Japan.

This paper describes "the trends of mobility and flows of not only the internal migration of population but also the commutation of population between the place of residence and the place of work or school...for the postwar period until the early 1990s, using chiefly the statistics from the national population censuses and the basic resident registers. The main discussions are made not only upon the changes in the patterns of migratory flows between metropolitan and non-metropolitan regions or within a metropolitan region in internal migration, but also upon the association between internal migration and commutation of population within a metropolitan region, in particular, within Tokyo metropolitan region."

[Big-city migration in historical perspective].

"The migration flows to and from the four largest Dutch municipalities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) show a number of similarities. During the past few decades internal migration has been characterized by a move away from the large cities, while the much smaller international migration flow had an opposite direction. This has resulted in a net decrease of the total population in the largest cities." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Migration to and from sections of Rotterdam].

"The number of people that move to, from or within large cities is, in a relative sense, far greater than the corresponding figure for the other parts of the Netherlands. Big city mobility concerns mostly internal migration. The 1995 migration statistics on sections of Rotterdam show dissimilarities between the different sections of the city with respect to composition and intensity of population flows. This article focuses on the differences between two sections of Rotterdam." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
