Reda, Latife. "The Socio-economic Aspects of hijra." Sociology of Islam 5, no. 2-3 (June 21, 2017): 161–78. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/22131418-00503002.
Abstract:
The paper highlights the socio-economic aspects of the concept of hijra or migration in the Islamic tradition. The paper argues that the conception of migration in the Islamic tradition has been shaped by not only religious and ethical values, but also social and economic motivations and consequences ever since the first migrations to Abyssinia and Medina. The paper addresses the notion and practice of hijra in Islamic history by highlighting its ethical and religious value as well as its nature and evolution into a socio-economic activity motivated by different forms of oppression, including social and political oppression as well as economic deprivation. The study draws on the history of Islam and the Islamic society, the sources of Islamic law and doctrines, and the thought of scholars in relation to the changes in approaches to migration, and the conceptualization of hijra as an activity motivated by oppression and economic hardship.

Abstract:
This paper examines the growing presence of Muslims in the United Kingdom (UK), a community that, despite being a minority, is expanding rapidly according to data from the Oxford-based Migration Observatory. This research examines the diverse origins, cultures, languages, and religious beliefs of British Muslims, setting the stage to explore the multifaceted emergence of Islam and Muslims in the UK. The study investigates the various phases of Muslim migration, pinpointing the principal reasons for their arrival and the routes chosen by individuals from countries such as Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Syria, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Yemen to settle in cities like London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bradford, Liverpool, Hull, and Sheffield. It identifies key factors driving the formation of Muslim communities in the UK, including political instability, ethno-religious conflicts, natural disasters, civil unrest, decolonisation, and labour shortages. Additionally, the paper assesses the socioeconomic status of Muslims in England and concludes with strategic recommendations for policymakers. JEL Classification: A14, Z1.

Abstract:
Migrants characterized by a strong ethnic and national profile, measured through language preferences, their strength of orientation to their own ethnic or national group, as a rule, manifest low psychological, but the better socio-cultural results, because they have a deep understanding of their socio-cultural history, as well as build developed relationships in a broad socio-cultural context.

Abstract:
The phenomenon of rural-to-urban migration has a long history. People’s attempts to move from rural areas to cities originated in ancient times. In this context, the migration history to Rangpur is brief. The history of urbanization in Rangpur began not too long ago, with people from various villages in the surrounding districts settling in the city. Through the lens of economic and socio-cultural perspectives, multiple factors have directly and indirectly influenced migration from rural areas to this city. Therefore, understanding its intricate meanings is only feasible by discussing rural-urban migration through a sociological research approach.

Abstract:
Schools and kindergartens of Orenburg region, as well as many other regions of Russia, from the early 2000s began to accept children from migrant families of Central Asia and Transcaucasia for education. In the 2010s, this trend intensified, and classes began to be filled with already significant groups of children whose families had moved to the region over the past ten years. Orenburg Region is multinational in itself, so the influx of non-ethnic migrants only increased the multicultural nature of children’s and pedagogical collectives.
The purpose of the study is to determine the level of linguistic and socio-cultural adaptation of children with a migration history in the region, the degree of readiness of Orenburg region educational organizations to receive foreign minors and to form ideas about the attitudes of migrant families and students themselves for full socio-cultural integration into the Russian society.
Methods and materials. The source base of the study was made by statistical materials on migration processes, in-depth interviews and conversations with teachers and administration of educational organizations in Orenburg region, diagnostic examination of non-native speaking schoolchildren in three educational organizations of the region using a special technique.
The scientific novelty of the research lies in combination of applied ethnographic tools with the study of the current situation in the educational system of the region. The authors answer the problematic question: how to organize the work on linguistic and socio-cultural adaptation of foreign-speaking students, depending on the proportion of children with a migration history at school, the level of teachers’ education and qualification on the example of specific educational institutions in the cities Orenburg and Orsk, a suburban district of Orenburg region.
Study results. The data collected in a number of Russian cities in 2021–2022, including in the region under study, are analyzed, which give the opportunity to assert that the proportion of children from migrant families in school and the native language of foreign-speaking children are not the determining factors in the progress of linguistic and socio-cultural adaptation by means of education. The article gives a description of an approximate distribution of students with a migration history participating in the study in four groups, depending on the recommended model of language adaptation. The factor that significantly complicates the activities on linguistic and socio-cultural adaptation of migrant children in the conditions of the Orenburg region is emphasized: this is a “pendulum” migration, as well as long summer and winter holidays, when parents send their children to their homeland “to grandparents”, not really considering the need to support language practice. The data obtained during the study indicate that the majority of students with a migration history in Orenburg region associate their future with Russia: it is very important to support such children at the initial stage of adaptation and training in a Russian school, because, as a rule, they will be motivated to successfully study and move up the social ladder if the language barrier is overcome.
Conclusions. In general, the experience of many years of positive interethnic interaction accumulated in Orenburg region and reasonably structured national and migration policies create the basis for successful adaptation and integration of migrant families arriving in the region. However, if we talk about the educational system of Orenburg region, then in order to successfully solve the tasks of linguistic and socio-cultural adaptation of children with a migration history, Orenburg region schools need additional staff and financial support.

Abstract:
In the article, the author examines toponyms along the path of historical migration of Central Kazakhstan (Karaganda and Zhezkazgan regions) on the basis of historical and geographical materials and works of researchers, and concludes that toponyms associated with internal migrations are mainly ethnotonyms. According to some historical information, the main modern inhabitants of Central Kazakhstan were moved to these lands around the beginning of the XVIII century, and at the beginning of the migration was the famous «Kaz Dauysty» Kazybek bi. The migration of the «Middle Zhuz» tribes from the South to the Central and Central-Northern regions through steppe Betpak was carried out due to the rational use of steppe roads of that time. We know three roads of them: 1. Khan zholy; 2. Sarysu zholy; 3. Kendirli zholy. The article discusses the reasons and history of naming toponyms marked on these historical paths. The socio-economic and historical-political factors of the internal migration of the «Middle Zhuz» (argyn, naiman), «Junior Zhuz» (tama, alshyn, zhagalbayly) of such socio-clan groups as the Kozha and the Kyrgyz are analyzed. At the end of the article, the author comes to the conclusion that hydronyms, oronyms, ethnonyms and toponyms of Central Kazakhstan after three centuries remain unchanged in spite of the historical, political and socio-genus changes that have occurred in Kazakhstan – this is proof of stability in ethnogenetic and geographical plans of our people.

Abstract:
IntroductionResearch has established that there are high rates of first episode psychosis (FEP) in immigrant populations. These findings could indicate that socio-environmental risk factors, such as individual social class, social capital, early trauma, life events, neighborhood deprivation could be relevant in explaining the differences in incidence rates observed between migrants and natives, following the socio-developmental model of Morgan et al. (2010). Some preliminary results also indicate that migration history itself versus ethnicity could implicate higher risk of the onset of psychotic disorders.AimsTo present preliminary findings from the EUGEI European Network of National Schizophrenia Networks Studying Gene Environment Interactions study.MethodsPopulation based FEP incidence/case control study. Comparison of the incidence rate of FEP and of the distribution of several risk factors (e.g. substance abuse, neighborhood deprivation, urbanicity and trauma) in natives and migrants in different countries across Europe.ResultsPreliminary results of the EUGEI study will be discussed in comparison with previous evidences.ConclusionThe EUGEI study allows a deeper understanding of the excess of FEP found among migrants in Europe.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
Migration is an integral part of human history. It is world -wide phenomenon that affects the place of origin and destination of migrants. Migration has been understood as temporary or permanent shifting of place of labour from one region to another region, from one country to another country in a particular period of time. Migration has a number of socio-economic, cultural, political and demographic impacts on the lives of the migrant workers. There are many types of migration prevailing in India and elsewhere in the recent past, the inter-state migration has been most prevalent in the most of the Indian states. It is worthwhile to note here, the Inter-state migration poses a variety of challenges to state, for instance the state and centre government unable to keep record of data on the movement of migrant labour from one state to another state(s) or government at central and state level facing difficulties to assess their socio-economic abilities. This paper will explore the reasons for such migration, identify the socio-economic status of inter-state migrant workers and trying to frame suitable policy to enhance the livelihood of the migrant workers.

Abstract:
The profound changes in the social structure of the postmodern society require the allocation of knowledge about migration as a special area of research on migration processes in the humanitarian paradigm. Currently, migration as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon is traditionally studied within the framework of various sciences, such as political science, sociology, history, jurisprudence, public administration, demography, etc. Economics also plays an important role. The processes of external migration are an integral part of the international delineation of labor and global economic relations in particular. Population dynamics, human resources deficit or surprisingly their high centralization, and diverse quality and composition in their interconnectedness significantly affect economic, geopolitical, and security trends around the world. The causes of migration are diverse. These include wars and armed conflicts, climate change and natural disasters, but above all, economic shocks and unstable economic situations in different countries. That is why migration as a certain socio-economic phenomenon should not be assessed as a purely positive or negative category. In view of the above, scientific and research works aimed at addressing the problem of economic security should be designed to identify and distinguish between positive and negative effects of migration on socio-economic processes in the respective State, as well as to formulate ways to neutralize the latter (negative) and develop and strengthen the former (positive) ones. Key words: migration processes; economic security; globalization.

Abstract:
Comment les représentations fondées sur le passé et le futur organisent-elles et transforment-elles le rapport au travail des retraités subsahariens en France et en Belgique ? En d'autres termes, quelles sont les images associées au travail pour ces derniers ? Ces questions au croisement d'une socio-histoire des migrations, d'une sociologie du travail et du vieillissement, visent à asseoir une sociologie des retraités en France et en Belgique. Dès lors, notre recherche s'appuie sur une méthodologie mixte combinant entretiens biographiques (n=50), analyse secondaire de données statistiques et analyse documentaire. Au terme de l'analyse du matériau, nous défendons la thèse suivante : plus l'accès au marché du travail devient complexe, plus les travailleurs immigrés sont maltraités et moins ils envisagent de retourner dans leur pays d'origineHow do representations based on the past and the future organize and transform the relationship to work of sub-Saharan retirees in France and Belgium? In other words, what images are associated with work for them? These questions, at the crossroads of a socio-history of migration and a sociology of work and ageing, aim to establish a sociology of retired people in France and Belgium. Our research is therefore based on a mixed methodology combining biographical interviews (n=50), secondary analysis of statistical data and documentary analysis. At the end of our analysis of the material, we put forward the following thesis: the more complex access to the labour market becomes, the worse immigrant workers are treated and the less likely they are to consider returning to their country of origin

Chatta, Ilyas Ahmad. "Partition and its aftermath : violence, migration and the role of refugees in the socio-economic development of Gujranwala and Sialkot cities, 1947-1961." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2009. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/366712/.
Abstract:
The partition of India in August 1947 was marked by the greatest migration in the Twentieth Century and the death of an estimated one million persons. Yet until recently (Ansari 2005; Talbot 2006) little was written about the longer term socioeconomic consequences of this massive dislocation, especially for Pakistan. Even when the 'human dimension' of refugee experience rather than the 'high politics' of partition was addressed, it was not specifically tied to local case studies (Butalia, 1998). A comparative dimension was also missing, even in the 'new history' of partition. The thesis through case studies of the Pakistan Punjab cities of Gujranwala and Sialkot examines partition related episodes of violence, migration and resettlement. It draws on hitherto unexplored original sources to explain the nature, motivation and purpose of violence at the local level. It argues that the violence in both cities was clearly politically rather than culturally and religiously rooted. The problems of finding accommodation and employment as well as patterns of urban resettlement are also explored. The thesis shows how the massive shifts in population influenced and transformed the socio-economic landscape of the two cities. It also addresses wider issues regarding the relative roles of refugees and locally skilled craftsmen in rebuilding the cities' economies following the migration of the Hindu and Sikh trading and commercial class. This analysis reveals that while partition represented a major disruption, continuities persisted from the colonial era. Indeed, Sialkot's post-independence development owed more to the skill base it inherited than to the refugee influx.

Abstract:
This thesis attempts to address how and why North Shäwa deteriorated from a political heartland to a region of impoverished peasants by the beginning of the 20th century. One of the factors that determine the selection of the place for a seat of the government for a region or country and sustainability of its system is its resource potential. In this case, arable and grazing land with other related land resources were decisive. They were some of the major factors contributing to both the origin and development of the kingdom. However, by the beginning of the 20th century, the region was abandoned by the court and by a significant proportion of its population. This was mainly because of the impoverishment of the region. The growth of the number of consumers (town dwellers) and the supplies needed by the kingdom exceeded the carrying capacity of North Shäwa. The economic productivity of the region could not correspond to the development of its needs. Thus, this thesis accords due emphasis to the factors that contributed to the impoverishment of North Shäwa and the consequences that followed. Throughout the thesis, North Shäwan peasants are the main subject of discussion. Political, social, cultural and geographical factors that impacted on the peasants’ economy and that retarded its development are discussed in the study. It also attempts to unearth the measures taken by the court and peoples of North Shäwa to withstand or escape from the prevailing socio-economic problems. Finally a comparison is made with other regions of the country to describe the political and socio-economic status of North Shäwans that continue to live in the region. This discussion covers the period from the 1880s up to the Italian occupation of Ethiopia in 1935History

Abstract:
Examining the ongoing processes of migration in Europe and beyond, this book deals with the ongoing processes of migration and boundary-(re)making in the world. It takes stock of recent and hitherto unpublished research on the refugee crisis in Europe, migration dynamics in the Middle East and migration flows in Africa and Latin America, specifically in relation to their political, social and cultural framing. In particular, chapters in this collection focus on newer cases of transnational migration, their socio-political implications that in turn affect identity-making. Alongside the refugee and migrant crisis in Europe, which can be viewed as one of the most divisive political issues in recent European history, new patterns of migration and re-bordering can also be seen across Europe, the Middle East and beyond. These include both the rise of anti-immigration populism within the nation-states as well as different attempts to control and regulate tangible and intangible borders of the nation state to discourage migration at the regional level such as the EU.

Abstract:
The November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks marked the definitive moment when the migration crisis became associated with terrorism, stoking an increasingly heated debate over the perceived dangers of migration, Islam, and extremist politics in Europe. The sudden emergence of migration as the mobilizing factor for European security, political discourse, and socio-economic realities has profoundly affected Europe's contrasting perceptions of its own identity and values, precipitating an increasingly global response to tackling migration challenges in Europe and worldwide. Migration, Terrorism, and the Future of a Divided Europe: A Continent Transformed chronicles the turbulent events of the 2015-2016 migration crisis, creating a context in which future political, economic, social, and security trends in Europe can be understood. The study also examines in detail the deep history of the ideological origins and histories of treaties and policies that have defined the European Union and its guidance of the crisis. Readers will gain insight into the origins, factual realities, and projected ramifications for the continent's future security, politics, and socio-economic identity; the impact of media coverage on public perception; the differing policies and rhetoric of rival right- and left-wing parties in Europe; and the new security threats arising from a widened terrorist threat matrix that will comprise new targets, methods, and logistics. Finally, the book outlines the larger policy actions and trends expected, on the global level, towards handling future migration crises, and explains how this will have an impact on Europe. This important new work is the cumulative result of author Chris Deliso's extensive academic background in European history and thought; his on-the-ground presence in the target region before, during, and after the crisis; and his interviews with security officials, diplomatic figures, and practitioners directly involved with shaping the policies that were visible during the crisis. Offering a broad historical context, the text portrays the current crisis within the context of a much longer institutional and ideological divide that has existed in Europe and shaped policies for almost a century.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter aims to present the migration framework and the situation of women in Albania. The first section briefly reviews the socio-economic conditions of Albania during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, which I separate into two main periods: before and after 1991. I take the year 1991 as the official end of the mono-party political system, also known as the communist era or regime, as it is also the year when the country’s first multiparty elections happened. I explain how, in this context, migration became one of the leading forces transforming Albanian society. The second section of this chapter focuses on the history of migration in Albania, limited to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Here, I also discuss the research site, the city of Tirana. The third section presents the situation of women in Albania, focusing on some central matters that support the analysis in this research.

Abstract:
AbstractRemittances are one of the precious spin-offs of international migration in developing countries. They have been fast growing for the last decade, but like any other income, they fluctuate with economic conditions which are affected by several shocks, such as the ongoing covid 19 pandemic. Nevertheless, these transfers sometimes exceed Official Development Aid (ODA) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in some parts of the World such as Sub-Saharan Africa, demonstrating their importance for promoting socio-economic development. This chapter focuses on Burkina Faso, a West African country where more than 80% of the population practice subsistence agriculture, and bear heavily the consequences of poor climatic conditions, exacerbated by the ongoing climate change. The country also has a great history of migration mainly written by its colonial past. Using data from several sources such as the World Bank indicators and national surveys, this chapter aims firstly to understand the trends of remittances flows in the country for the last decade. Secondly, using a national survey on migration conducted in the country, we found that receiving international remittances increases the probability of setting up a non-agricultural business. This result suggests that remittances can help households to set up businesses and be less dependent on climatic conditions.

Abstract:
Abstract Persistence of a population involves both replacement of people, a biodemographic process, and of domestic units, a socio-demographic process. In the preceding chapter we considered Turkana fertility in some detail, with an emphasis on the biological side. Here we consider other demographic and life-history phenomena, primarily nuptiality and mortality, that influence fertility but more generally are important for understanding population replacement and persistence. The other major influence on population replacement is migration into or out of the pastoral sector. Aspects of this process are treated in Chapters 15 (Migration) and 17 (Settled Turkana).

Abstract:
Migrations (generally) mean any change in the place of residence of a migrant or larger and smaller group of people. In the history of migration research, just few researches have been devoted to the research of women in the migration process, women as migrants, the values and importance of women in migrant families and the problems women migrants face in the international migratory whirlwind. The role of woman in the migration process is most often studied from the aspect of economic change in society or through the role of a girl, a wife, a sister, a mother, and together with the emigration of male family members. Different push and pull factors affect a migrant woman and her decision to move or not to move away from the environment she has recently lived in. Emigration factors can be explored, analyzed and observed on individual, family and social levels. Research on women’s mobility, the dilemma of long-standing „female invisibility“ and their formal position have set goals for the starting point of this work. The paper points to the problems and role of women in the migration process through the socio-historical dimension, provides an overview and analysis of available demographic indicators on migrant women, analytically represents selected migration theories related to migrant women, points to different forms of women migration, detects the social status migrants have in most cases in new homeland, enriches existing knowledge and reflection, opens up new perspectives and points to newer meanings of women in the migration process and opens up many new issues for further research into feminisation of migration.

Abstract:
Abstract One of the central problems addressed by cultural evolution is understanding how individuals or groups successfully adapt to socio-ecological variation. The earliest models asked what types of learning would be expected if environments shifted or when encountering new environments. These efforts predicted timely use of both imitation and individual learning, a mixed learning strategy with its general disposition dependent on the rate of environmental change. Today more individuals encounter ever-more diverse environments and changing climates at highly variable rates. As these and more recent models suggest, individuals may use a variety of learning mechanisms to acquire beneficial behaviours, though not entirely free of errors. While today’s situation presents a sense of urgency, confronting environmental variation is a problem encountered throughout the history of Homo sapiens. In fact, it is possible that any cultural species has been shaped by the migration process because being adept movers would require mixed learning strategies and cultural norms that respond to the details of movement. The author explores this possibility by reviewing the general products of the migration process and what cultural evolutionary mechanisms may be at play.

Abstract:
Abstract The chapter deals with the range of Hindu practices and traditions and histories found in Africa, with emphasis on South Africa. Although, technically, Mauritius and La Réunion come under East Africa, they are treated separately at the beginning of the chapter, and South Africa, East Africa, and West Africa are dealt with in that order because Mauritius, La Réunion, and South Africa share a common indenture history. While Hinduism in Mauritius is underpinned by its creole culture, La Réunion Hinduism is closely tied with Roman Catholicism. A marked tension between non-Brahmanical Hinduism and the various neo-Hindu organizations is found in South Africa. It is safe to say that the East African Hinduism is primarily situated within the Gujarati community’s migration to that region; other contemporary movements and traditions gradually made their presence felt. Quite uniquely, however, Ghananian Hinduism begins with indigenous efforts, although later on those efforts were joined by other organizations. As such, Hinduism in Africa shares a variety of histories, migrations patterns, and socio-economic conditions as well as political struggles. Hinduism shows resilience by its ability to adapt to these varied conditions.

Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to show the distinctive elements of Mexican “cabareteras”. It was a popular trend in the musical films of the forties which told the stories of women who – usually cheated on and used by men – go to the cabaret, which was also a brothel. “Cabareteras” are the extremely important phenomenon in the history of the Mexican film: it laid the foundations for a paradigm shift in the national cinematography by shaking or outright shattering of popular cultural stereotypes about women. “Cabareteras” were also an important factor in the education of Mexican citizens during the process of rapid modernization of the state and uncontrolled migration from rural to urban areas. The article shows the importance of cabareteras by placing them in relevant cultural and socio-political contexts.

Abstract:
The conflicts in Manipur have a long socio-political history. The root causes behind these clashes are diverse and complex, including colonization, governance issues, drug trafficking, discrimination, geopolitics, and militarization. The ethnic groups and governments have failed to reconcile the differences peacefully. Through this chapter, the researcher is trying to provide an overview of the conflict and how this has affected the people of Manipur. The researcher will identify various dimensions of the conflict in Manipur and analyze how drug trafficking, land rights, and illegal migration are linked to ethnic violence between Kukis and Meiteis by highlighting the historical, cultural, and political aspects of the problem. Further, the existing policies and laws are analysed. Finally, the need for peace negotiations, the requirement for the disarmament of the communities, the need for investigation and trial of grave violations, and the necessity for establishing a truth and reconciliation commission will be discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Chapter 6 tackles four themes. Its main purpose is to illustrate the tenacity with which inherited differences may survive migration using a sample variationist case study from Maiduguri in the LCA region. An analogy suggests itself. The written word is inherently contextualized in a stone, a piece of paper, papyrus which can be interpreted socio-historically more or less depending on how well known the circumstances are surrounding that stone or piece of paper. For its part, the oral word is contextualized in a speech community, whose historical provenance can be more or less understood depending on how much is known about that community and its antecedents. However, not all oral variation in Arabic is due to the oral language. The confounding effects of a written standard on spoken Arabic are also discussed. Two further issues introduced previously in Chapter 5 are treated: the role of reconstruction in the Arabicist/Semiticist tradition, and how and whether grammaticalization theory elucidates language history.

Abstract:
The article states the methodological and research technique conditions for the historical disclosure of the socio-natural synergy of social history in the specific case of Russian population migrations in the more than eventful period from the reign of Alexander III to the Great Patriotic War and the first post-war years, inclusive. The requirements for a modern researcher of social processes on long continuous series of complex sociographic and demographic information are formulated. The public and author's mass sources are named, which are necessary for identifying and comparing the synergisms of migrations at five levels of populations of individual settlements, a subregion, a region, a macro-region and the country as a whole, and an algorithm for their processing is shown. Some of the most important results of the study of migration as a complex socio-natural mechanism of regulation and control of populations are presented in graphs, diagrams, histograms and maps.

Abstract:
Backgroud: "Population migration" is a term that has many meanings. Population migration can manifest itself in such forms as nomadism, pilgrimage, wanderings, urbanization, ruralization, etc. Population migrations have a long history, but are relatively little studied. In Western Europe and North America, population migration became the object of sociological research only from the middle of the 19th century. Interest in the study of population migration has become relevant due to the needs of studying the adaptation of immigrants in host countries and studying the consequences of mass emigration of the working population from donor countries. Purpose: To carry out a systematization and comparative analysis of the main approaches to the study of migration in sociology and other socio-humanitarian disciplines. Methods: The work uses a number of general scientific and special sociological methods: logicalsemantic - for analyzing and deepening the conceptual apparatus of the concept of external migration; comparative analysis of the results of statistical and specifically sociological studies of migration. Results: A significant increase in the scale and intensity of international population migration at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century led to the interest of Ukrainian sociologists in the issue of migration. The theoretical and methodological approaches of Western researchers echo the approaches of post-Soviet scientists, in particular, in the recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of population migration studies. Thus, there are six sociological approaches to the study of migration. At the same time, V. Iontsev noted that to the sociological approach "it would be possible to add the classification of migration flows according to vertical and horizontal characteristics and the theory of "rational expectations". Conclusion: Within the scope of the comprehensive study, a broad classification of approaches to the study of migration was presented. V. Iontsev's classification included 17 scientific approaches to the study of population migration, which, in turn, united 45 scientific directions, were classified as: the concept of "attraction - repulsion" by E. Lee (E. Lee); ethnosociological approach K. Davis (K. Davis), Y. Harutyunyan; the theory of "migration chain" D. Gurac (D. Gurac), F. Caces (F. Caces), D. Massey (D. Massey), A. Simmons (A. Simmons); the cultural approach of H. Esse, J. Rex, J. Bustamante; assimilation theory of H. Werner (H. Werner), M. Gordon (M. Gordon); sociological theory of migration (sociology of migration) by T. Zaslavska, T. Yudina. Keywords: migration, social migration, population migration

Abstract:
This study aims to examine the life history of migrant women who have experienced divorce in a socio-cultural context. Five people participated in the study, and they have been living in self-reliance support facilities since their divorce. They were selected from interviews on the life history of 80 married migrant women, which were funded by the Korea Research Foundation from 2017 to 2019. The method of research is a life-historical case study. The results of the study are as follow; first, their marriage was to escape gender hierarchy and poverty in their home country. Therefore, it was confirmed that marriage migration took place within the transnational trend of feminization of migration. Second, self-reliance support facilities provide strong social support for divorced migrant women. As a result, it works as an important space that allows them to escape from voluntary self-exclusion and explore new subjectivity. Suggestions of the implications are as follow; the social support from self-reliance support facilities after divorce is a driving factor that is the subjective and active effort of single-parent migrant women. Discussions should continue that those who are free from the spouses of the people can live as practical and public citizens of Korean society.

Abstract:
The act of “eating” is part of the ritual and ceremonial acts that have a great capacity for social transformation with a well-marked symbolic eff ectiveness. Th e history of nutrition cannot be seen as detached from the history of humanity, as they are identifi ed in the stages of their evolution. Factors that play an important role in this regard, infl uencing and sizing specifi c meanings and connotations, are the natural environment, climatic conditions, the socio-economic structure of communities, spiritual beliefs. Migration has been an acute phenomenon of the Romanian society in the last 30 years. If in the second half of the last century, during the communist period, the phenomenon of migration focused on moving the population from rural to urban areas, the liberalization of borders, entering EU structures, NATO, etc., facilitated and even encouraged, in a way or another, the migration of Romanians. Th e Romanian communities have grown signifi cantly, reaching a signifi cant place in the population of migrating countries, and even a representative minority in certain European states (Italy, Spain, Great Britain, etc.). Statistically speaking, Greece does not have a concrete record of the Romanian community, the last census dating from 2007 and the one from the end of 2021 not being centralized yet. In Greece, based on the information provided by the Romanian associations, there are a number of approximately 80,000 — 100,000 Romanians from several areas of Romania, mainly from Moldova, Bucovina and Maramureș, most of them living in Athens and a smaller part on the islands. Th is paper presents a case study, conducted within the Romanian community in Greece, having as main element traditional food. Starting from the idea that this community is part of the mobility diaspora, not being clearly defi ned for a period of time, we will notice, however, that the traditional food is an extremely important element in preserving the national identity. Th e Romanian communities, be they historical or mobility, follow an authentic Romanian social pattern, with few foreign influences, determined by several factors.

Abstract:
For centuries, Georgia, due to its geopolitical, economic, and social factors has been the migration arena for different ethnic groups and peoples. Over time, some groups of migrants blended with thelocal population or with other ethnic entities, while the rest, managed to preserve their national specifics till the end. This process was particularly evident in the borderline regions of Georgia, among them, in Truso, one of the most ancient parts of Georgia. Truso is a rather rich and interesting gorgeowing to its historical past, socio-economic and political importance, mode of life of its population,and the development of its material and spiritual culture. The aim of this work is to observe the history of the Truso Gorge in the realm of the developments that took place there, starting from the 18th century; viewing it as the arena of mutual settlement of Georgians and Ossetians, traditional cohabitation, and the areal of certain cultural diffusion. The methodological study is based on the method of Contrastive analysis of historical sources, fact-finding, and content analysis.

Abstract:
We live in a time of rapid geo-political change that is expected to accelerate rather than stabilise over the coming decades: More than half the world lives in urban areas, a figure expected to rise to 68% over the next 30 years. Cities are denser and more socially complex than ever before. Rural to urban internal migration continues, but a substantial driver of population transitions is a consequence of inter-national immigration, some of it forced. In fact, there are currently 65 million displaced people in the world; the largest figure in history. These increasingly complex conditions require architects to practice a new kind of critical consciousness about the socio-economic, environmental and demographic multiplicities in which they work. It’s no longer enough to concentrate on the conditions of a site defined by the lines of property ownership. Architects need to adopt a contextually relevant praxis that responds to the multiscalar effects of our changing social condition. To that end, we argue, the emerging generation of architects will need knowledge and methods – often inter-disciplinary – that enable them to read and represent these social complexities and address them through critical design responses. This paper presents a pedagogical approach for a foundational transdisciplinary design studio within a new generalist undergraduate degree in design in which this pedagogical challenge is addressed. It is a core subject in the pathway to professional a master’s degrees in architecture, landscape architecture and urban design.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the ways in which the vernacular language of the capital city of Sofia, Bulgaria, reflects a history of contested borders. A relatively small but ancient settlement, Sofia became the capital of the new principality when the San Stefano borders were redrawn and contracted by the Congress of Berlin in 1878. In response the capital was relocated in 1879 from Veliko Tarnovo in the eastern dialect area to Sofia in the western, a strategically semiotic move intended to re-center the Bulgarian capital with respect to the prior borders and to position the government for future expansion. The government administration relocated en masse to Sofia thereby establishing a new urban elite with a more prestigious eastern dialect that would eventually become the main basis of the standard language. Despite decades of education in the standard language, however, western variants have persisted in the capital to this day, in part fuelled by 20th century waves of migration from what is today Aegean and North Macedonia. With the post-1989 fall of communism and the end of state-controlled media, this western variant now appears in and often dominates public spaces much to the dismay of language codifiers and purist-minded members of the public. Three theoretical approaches are employed to account for this persistence of the western variant. Social network theory will be used to analyze the sociolinguistic dynamics of language variants in Sofia. Critical discourse analysis recognizes the mutually constitutive nature of social practice and language use and the role of power relations — particularly relevant once the western variant of Sofia lost its prestige to the newly arrived eastern variant. Finally, language variation is conceptualized as a social semiotic system in which variants are indexically mutable so that speakers make socio-semiotic moves by deploying variants in certain contexts with certain interlocutors.

Abstract:
Throughout history, mankind has been almost constantly involved in an immigration movement. Almost all countries on earth are affected by migration. People sometimes have to leave by their own will and sometimes forced to migrate as well. The factors that cause this situation are natural, economic, social and political. In Turkey, the migration gained pace especially since the 1950s. The causes of this phenomenon are increased mechanization in agriculture, rapid urbanization and civil service assignments.
The purpose of this study is to examine the determining factors of internal immigration between the provinces of Turkey through development indicators in the period of 2008-2015 with count data regression analysis and artificial neural network. In addition, using count data analysis and artificial neural networks are used to determine the best estimation method for performing internal migration forecasting in Turkey.
