Characterization and Explanation of the Destination Choice Patterns of Canadian Male Labour Force Entrants 1971-76

Moffett, Patricia 04 1900 (has links)
<p> Since the classic study of migration and metropolitan growth by Lowry (1966), migration researchers have assumed a two-stage process wherein the decision to migrate is followed by the destination choice decision. Such an approach is employed here, to provide a characterization and explanation of the destination choice patterns of the male labour force entrants.</p> <p> Specifically, a nonlinear migration model, developed by Liaw and Bartels (1982), is applied to Canadian migration data for the 1971-76 period. The inter-metropolitan migration patterns of the male labour force entrants is found to be well explained by six explanatory variables: population size, logarithmic distance, housing growth, employment increase, cultural barriers and "strong ties". The last two variables are dummy variables derived from the characterization of the destination choice patterns through the application of entropies. The study examines factors involved in the destination choice decision and concludes with suggestions for future investigation.</p> / Thesis / Candidate in Philosophy

“Borta farligt men hemma bäst?” : En studie om svenska kvinnors upplevelser om hot och rädslor i sitt resande / “At home is best, abroad is dangerous” : A study of Swedish women's experiences of threats and fears in their travels

Hrafnsdóttir, Eva, Ek, Moa, Anders, Claudia January 2022 (has links)
Vi alla känner igen ordspråket “Borta bra men hemma bäst” men hur sant är det egentligen?  Turism har alltid funnits i någon form och kommer alltid att finnas i någon form. Som en konsekvens av globaliseringen under de senaste decennierna har länder runt om i världen kommit närmare än någonsin. Gränser är mer öppna än någonsin och i stort sett alla får och kan resa. Vissa upplever dock vissa resmål som farliga och skrämmande. Speciellt kvinnor. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka faktorer som har störst påverkan när det kommer till vad som får kvinnor att känna sig trygga under sina resor. Vad har kvinnor för upplevelser av sina tidigare resor och vilka vanliga rädslor finns? Denna studie syftar till att söka svar på hur mycket kvinnors uppfattning om säkerhet väger upp i deras val av resmål, vilka faktorer som är viktigaste och vilka faktorer som gör att kvinnor avstår från en viss destination. Vidare är det av intresse för oss att i vår studie undersöka hur stor skillnad det är mellan äldre och yngre kvinnors val av resor. Studien bygger på ett frågeformulär samt litteraturanalys. Enkäten fick totalt 224 svar från svenska kvinnor i olika åldrar. Resultaten visar delade meningar om hur viktiga vissa faktorer är för säkerhetsuppfattning vid val av resmål. De tydligaste mönstren som resultaten tar fram är att kvinnor föredrar att resa i sällskap istället för ensamma. Dessutom är kvinnors största faktor när de väljer resmål bekvämlighet inte säkerhet, även om säkerhet fortfarande är en viktig faktor. Den mest påverkande faktorn som skapar den rädsla som kvinnor upplever är massmedier som tidningsartiklar och sociala medier. / There is a common Swedish saying that being abroad is good but at home is still always the best. Tourism has always existed in some form and is always going to exist in some form. As a consequence of the globalization of the last decades countries around the world have become closer than ever. Boarders are more open than ever before and pretty much everyone is allowed and capable to travel. However, some experience certain destinations as dangerous or scary. Especially females.  This study aims to research which factors have the biggest impact when it comes to what makes women feel safe during their travels. What do women have as an experience of their earlier travels and what common fears exist? This study aims to seek answers on how much women's perception of safety weighs up in their choice of destination, what factors are most important and what factors cause women to refrain from a particular destination. Furthermore it is of interest how big of a difference there is between older and younger women's choice of travel. The study is based on a questionnaire as well as literature analysis. The questionnaire got a total of 224 answers from Swedish women of different ages.  The results show divided opinions on just how important certain factors are for safety when choosing a destination. The most significant patterns that the results show is that women prefer to travel accompanied instead of alone. Furthermore, women's biggest factor when choosing a destination is comfort not safety, even though safety is still an important factor. The most influencing factor that creates the fear that women experience is mass media such as newspaper articles and social media.
