The study of spatial mobility1 or geographic mobility1 is concerned with the quantitative aspects of moves2 made by individuals in geographic space. The distinguishing characteristic of migration3 is that it involves a change in usual place of residence (310-6*) and implies movement across an administrative boundary. The administrative unit left by the migrant is the place of origin4 or place of departure4; the unit to which the migrant goes is the place of destination5 or place of arrival5. The concept of migration is often not applied to moves made by persons without a fixed place of residence, for example, nomads are excluded from the count of migrants in many countries. In practice it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between migration, which implies a relatively permanent change of residence, and temporary moves6, except on the basis of criteria of length of absence7 from the place of origin or duration of stay8 at the place of destination. In general, geographic mobility does not include short-term trips which involve no change of usual residence, even though such moves may deserve study because of their economic and social importance. Commuting9 involves the daily or weekly journey from place of residence to place of work or schooling; seasonal moves10 ° have a yearly periodicity. Transits11, which are moves across a territory to reach a destination, do not involve migration with respect to the territory crossed. Tourist traffic12 or vacationing12 also are not included in geographic mobility.
- 1. Spatial mobility is distinguished from social mobility (920-4) and occupational mobility (921-3).
- 3. Migration, n. - migrate, v. - migrant, n.: one who migrates, also used as adj. - migratory, adj.: pertaining to migration. The term migration refers to a process and cannot serve in English (in contrast to French) to describe a particular move; it is rarely used in the plural. Some authors view all residential mobility (803-6) as migration. For most, however, migratory moves involve the crossing of a boundary, and the administrative unit selected is called the migration defining area.
- 5. The terms country of arrival and country of reception are appropriate when international migration is the subject of interest.
- 9. Commute, v. - commuter, n.: one who regularly travels from his place of residence to his place of work. The expression journey to work is also used to describe this type of movement.
- 10. Seasonal movement is more accurate than the frequently used term seasonal migration since these moves rarely involve a change of usual residence.
