Investigating internal migration with network analysis and latent space representations: an application to Turkey
1Dept. of Management Information Systems, Boğaziçi University, Bebek, 34342 Istanbul, Turkey.
Summary
Internal migration in Turkey from 2008-2020 shows geographically bounded patterns, with exceptions for economically active cities. Migration flows are often bidirectional and stable, revealing defined routes and aiding policy design.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Network Science
- Demography
Background:
- Human migration significantly impacts population distribution and is linked to socioeconomic outcomes.
- Understanding internal migration dynamics is vital for effective policy development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the structure and dynamics of internal migration in Turkey between 2008 and 2020.
- To apply complex network analysis methods to examine classical migration laws.
Main Methods:
- Utilized signed network analysis, ego network analysis, representation learning, temporal stability analysis, community detection, and network visualization.
- Examined migration data from 2008 to 2020.
Main Results:
- Migration links are predominantly geographically constrained, with notable exceptions for major economic centers.
- Significant migration flows exhibit counter-flows, indicating established routes.
- The Turkish migration system demonstrated general stability over the study period.
Conclusions:
- The study validates classical migration laws within the Turkish context using novel network analysis tools.
- Findings offer unique insights into Turkey's internal migration patterns.
- The employed methodology provides a new perspective for migration research globally.

Manipulation and Analysis
53
GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Migration
8.0K
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Normal and Tangetial Components: Problem Solving
214
Consider a man with a mass of 70 kg seated in a chair connected to a pin support through a member BC. If the man maintains an upright position, the task is to determine the horizontal and vertical reactions of the chair on the man when the member makes a 45° angle with the horizontal. At this moment, the man has a speed of 5 m/s, increasing at a rate of 1 m/s².

Region of Convergence of Laplace Tarnsform
646
The Region of Convergence (ROC) is a fundamental concept in signal processing and system analysis, particularly associated with the Laplace transform. The ROC represents an area in the complex plane where the Laplace transform of a given signal converges, determining the transform's applicability and utility.
Consider a decaying exponential signal that begins at a specific time. When deriving its Laplace transform, the time-domain variable is replaced with a complex variable. This...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture
74
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...
