The relationships between trends in migration patterns and regional employment structures during and after the Peruvian agrarian reform years are explored. Population movements, particularly the outmigration from the Peruvian countryside, are seen as influenced primarily by structural conditions of the regional economies. Census data is used to compare rates of migration between 1972, when the land reform was taking place, and 1981, after the reform measures had taken effect. These findings are compared with an analysis of trends in the regional labor force. It is found that the regional disparities in socioeconomic development would suggest much greater outmigration than is indicated by the departmental migration rates. Due to the seasonality of labor demand in agriculture, many population movements are necessarily of a temporary or circular nature. No direct correlations are made between land reform measures and rates of migration; rather, the study describes regional socioeconomic contexts of the reform, and the likely impact of the land reform on the propensity to migrate.

This study responds to the need for more research around (im)mobility decision-making to better support people facing environmental shocks and climatic changes. The concept of Trapped Populations, first appeared with the release of the 2011 Foresight report yielding repeated use in environmental migration studies and to a more limited extent policy. Although a seemingly straightforward concept, referring to people's inability to move away from environmental high-risk areas despite a desire to do so, the underlying reasons for someone's immobility can be profoundly complex. The empirical literature body referring to ‘trapped' populations has similarly taken a fairly simple and narrow economic explanatory approach. A more comprehensive understanding around how immobility is narrated in academia, and how people's cultural, social and psychological background in Bangladesh influences their (im)mobility, can provide crucial research insights. To better protect and support people living with environmental shocks and changes worldwide we need to build robust and well-informed policy frameworks To achieve this, a set of discourse analyses were carried out. Firstly, a textual Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) reviewed how ‘trapped' has been framed within academia. Secondly, a Foucauldian inspired discourse analysis was performed on field data to explore how power, knowledge and and binary opposites shape and determine people's social norms in terms of their (im)mobility decision-making. These key concepts critically showcased how meaning, values and power can constrain the mobility of a social group. The analysis was carried out on a large set of field data gathered between 2014 and 2016 in Bangladesh. The data on urban immobility and rural non-evacuation behaviour was gathered through a mixed-method quant-qualitative approach that included Q-methodology, storytelling group sessions, in-depth interviews and a survey questionnaire. Other key concepts used to frame the analysis included those of subjectivity, gender, place and space. The textual discourse analysis highlighted the dangers of framing mobility or resettlement as a potential climate adaptation. Assisted migration, could for example end up disguising other hidden political and economic agendas. The research identified how the empirical notions of ‘trapped' move beyond economic immobility. People in Bangladesh described being socially, psychologically and emotionally ‘trapped'. These empirical notions are useful within the area of climate policy, as they raise questions around whether mobility in fact is the solution.

O trabalho no campo, a educação, a religiosidade e as festividades são marcas que possibilitaram reafirmar os laços de pertencimento e identidade das famílias alemãs em Ferraz. Dentro desse contexto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar e analisar através da história social, como os imigrantes alemães que habitaram as terras da comunidade de Ferraz, conseguiram ali adaptar-se e criar raízes, desenvolvendo o local e deixando como herança o fortalecimento do sentimento de identidade e pertencimento aos seus descendentes. Nesse sentido, foram realizadas: pesquisa bibliográfica; revisão teórica (categoria de análise geográfica lugar e conceitos de patrimônio cultural, paisagem cultural, memória, identidade e bairros rurais); coleta de dados secundários; levantamento documental e coleta de dados primários, com imigrantes e descendentes antigos de Famílias Alemãs de Ferraz. Assim, foi possível apresentar características que propiciaram, a essas famílias alemãs, a garantia da sobrevivência e, ao mesmo tempo, a permanência de uma cultura que, apesar do tempo se manteve viva, sendo expressa pelas relações sociais, práticas rurais, espírito de integração, tradições e memórias, preservadas entre seus atuais sucessores. A recuperação da história social dessa comunidade alemã foi construída a partir de registros fotográficos e...

Job in the countryside, education, religiosity and festivities are trademarks that have made it possible to reaffirm the bonds of belonging and identity of the German families in Ferraz. In this context, the objective of this research is to identify and analyze through social history, how as the German immigrants who inhabited the lands of the community of Ferraz, managed to adapt and settle down, developing the place, and leaving as inheritance the Identity and belonging to their descendants. In this sense a bibliographic research was carried out; Theoretical review (category of geographical analysis Place and concepts of Cultural Heritage, Cultural Landscape, Memory, Identity and Rural Districts); Secondary data collection; Documentary collection and primary data collection (with immigrants and former descendants of German Families of Ferraz). In this way, it was possible to present characteristics that provided these German families with survival guarantee and, at the same time, the permanence of culture, despite of time, was kept alive, being expressed by social relations, rural practices, spirit of integration, traditions and memories, preserved among their current successors. The recovery of the social history of this German community was constructed from photographic records and interviews, showing the str... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Doctor of Philosophy / Geography / Lisa M. Harrington / The population of the American Great Plains has grown steadily but unevenly. While metropolitan areas − primarily on the peripheries of the Plains − have expanded, significant interior portions have experienced decades of outmigration and the challenges that accompany the exodus. Geographers have explored the interplay between rural population loss and service consolidation, the many reasons people leave, the age-specific dynamics of those leaving, and the varied strategies being employed at different scales to coax people back. The vantage point of the residents who remain in emptying spaces has received little attention, however. Grounded theory guided a sequential mixed method approach to gain a better perspective on the aspects of place that contribute to an individual’s rootedness in the most rural and depopulating portions of the central Great Plains. Questionnaires were mailed in 2015 to 1,000 randomly-sampled households in ten counties of Kansas and Nebraska. Counties were selected on the most rural USDA ERS Rural-Urban Continuum and Urban-Influence Codes, ERS typology identifying population loss, and the most geographically-remote USDA Frontier and Remote Area designation. Focus groups were conducted after the mailed questionnaires in the county seats of three of counties that received the mailed survey. Correlation and contingency analyses were used to explore relationships within the closed-ended questionnaire responses for statistical significance. Open-ended responses provided depth to the closed-ended material. Results of the focus groups provided rich qualitative data that triangulated with quantitative results and offered a holistic view of the aspects of place encouraging someone to remain in a depopulating region. The elements of place encouraging rootedness were similar between the responses on the mailed questionnaire and those from the participants in the three focus groups. Rootedness was most associated with a sense of belonging. Rooted respondents also indicated that they felt good about where they live. In addition, many rooted individuals perceive themselves to be insiders in the community and view community spirit to be strong. Questionnaire results suggest that being involved with the community had a positive relationship with levels of rootedness. Rooted respondents were also more likely to perceive the visual appearance of their nearby surroundings favorably. A significant concern was the need for more vocational services within the focal study counties. A lack of sufficient trained individuals was seen as a reflection of institutional fast-tracking of students out of the area combined with a lack of support for motivating young people to apply their skills locally. Communities within the study area are not in danger of disappearing anytime soon, but their populations’ continued downward trajectory undermines their viability over the long term. Strategies like a shift in local educational approaches and inclusive activities aimed at those more likely to leave may encourage new roots to be put down or nurture roots to grow deeper, thus helping to curb outmigration.

A análise qualitativa das informações obtidas por entrevistas, somadas ao trabalho de observação in-loco, permitiu chegar a algumas conclusões sobre a problemática do turismo. O confronto entre a opinião dos moradores e a dinâmica sócioespacial do turismo, mostrou que Poços de Caldas passa por um período de estagnação turística devida a má qualidade nos serviços turísticos oferecidos. O turismo que está na memória da população anfitriã é um tipo de turismo diferente do praticado hoje. Para resgatar o turismo que os moradores desejam, seria interessante buscar caminhos que inclua a participação popular cidadã junto ao setor empresarial e político na busca de um outro turismo em Poços de Caldas / Abstract: This research had, as it's first objective increasing tourism in Poços de Caldas town, through the understanding of downtown residents this space should respect as territory for tourism. The qualitative analysis is by the information obtained through the interview and the in-loco observation work, allowed a conclusion about the tourism problem to be reached. The confrontation between the resident's opinion and the tourism social-space dynamic showed that Poços de Caldas is passing through a period of tourism stagnation, because at the poor quality of tourism services. The tourism that is in the hostess population memory is a different kind of tourism.
