ECONOMIC—CULTURAL —ENVIRONMENTAL I. Theoretical ExamplesAn area that has valuable natural resources, such as petroleum or uranium, may attract miners and engineers. _____________________Regions with warmer weather attract migrants from harsher climates. _____________________A new industry lures factory workers, technicians and scientists_____________________Refugees are forced to migrate because of home conditions, especially wars. _____________________Too much water (flooding) or too little water (drought) has a huge impact on migration. ______________People are attracted to democratic countries that encourage freedom. _____________________II. Real Life Examples Many Europeans immigrants who came to America in the 19th century looking for jobs truly expected to find streets paved with gold. _____________________The southern coast of England, the Mediterranean coast of France, and the coasts of Florida attract migrants, especially retirees, who enjoy swimming and lying on the beach. _____________________Discovery of petroleum in North Sea off the coast of Scotland has lured thousands of people to jobs in drilling or refining businesses. _____________________In the 1930s, portions of Oklahoma became known as the Dust Bowl, following years of limited rainfall.

Be creative and come up with a list of your own push and pull factors.Directions: Under each heading, come up with a hypothetical/broad example of a push and pull factor. Then come up with a real life example (can be either push or pull).

The difference between the number of immigrants and the number of emigrants is the net migration. Internal Migration is movement within a country, as opposed to international (or external) migration, which is movement outside a country. Interregional Migration is moving from one region in the country to another region in the country.Intraregional Migration is moving within a region, such as from a city to a suburb. Voluntary migration implies that the migrant has chosen to move for economic improvement, whereas forced migration means that the migrant has been compelled to move by cultural or environmental factors. Chain Migration occurs when people migrate to be with other people who migrated before them and with who they feel some linkage, whether it is familial, religious, ethnic, cultural, or some other type of connection. Most often because of kinship links (types of push or pull factors that influence a migrant's decision to go where family or friends have already found success) Step migration: migration to a distant destination that occurs in stages, for example, from farm to nearby village and later to a town and cityShort-Term Local Movements refers to people’s daily movements that are not classified as migration. The area in which you travel on a daily basis is known as your activity space. There are various classifications of this shorter-term, impermanent migration.Cyclic movement occurs during your daily routine from your home and back. Commuting from one’s home to work and back is a form of cyclic movement.Seasonal movement is a form of cyclic movement that involves leaving your home region for a short time in response to a change of season.Periodic movement involves longer periods of stay, such as serving in the military or attending college.
