In-migration as a new process in demographic problem areas of the Alps. Ghost towns vs. amenity settlements in the alpine border area between Italy and Slovenia

Abstract: Even recent academic studies consider the Italian Alps (with the exception of South Tyrol) still a huge outmigration and depopulation area. The present contribution, however, shows the new and remarkable phenomenon of in-migration. The study highlights the west-east difference in regard to the significance of the newcomers for the current structural change in peripheral Alpine regions: ensuing from the demographic turnaround in the French Alps starting in the mid-1980s, the process of amenity migration spread … Show more

“…Der vorliegende Beitrag baut auf einer Reihe von Fallstudien in demographischen Problemgebieten in den italienischen Alpen (zuletzt BEISMANN et al 2012;STEINICKE et al 2011STEINICKE et al , 2012STEINICKE et al , 2013 auf, in denen eindeutig belegt werden konnte, dass in verschiedenen Gebieten die jahrzehntelang vorherrschende Abwanderung durch eine neue Zuwanderung abgelöst wurde. So lässt sich aus den amtlichen Statistiken seit dem Jahr 2001 eine Nettozuwanderung in peripheren Berggemeinden (vgl.…”

“…For a long time, socioeconomic and demographic studies of mountain regions both in Europe and elsewhere emphasized outmigration from high elevations to large lowland cities and degradation of peripheral mountain areas (Bä tzing et al 1996). Since the 2000s, there has been an increasing emphasis on the opposite trend (Steinicke et al 2012;Bartaletti 2013;Corrado et al 2014;New inhabitants 2014;L€ offler et al 2016); these studies focused mainly on immigration of wealthy people. Recently migration of poor people has attracted attention (Dematteis 2010;Dematteis 2011;Membretti 2015;Membretti and Viazzo 2017;Membretti et al 2017;Perlik et al 2019).…”

“…The long-term effects of this trend toward residential economies in mountain areas are debated, because it may weaken existing regional production systems and induces gentrifying processes (Perlik 2011). As these forms of migration have been already broadly discussed for the Alps (eg Steinicke et al 2012;L€ offler et al 2016), migrants by choice are not the subject of this article.…”

“…Specific legislations in the European Union, encompassing, for instance, freedom to travel, to settle and to work, encourage diverse migration processes within the EU (Kordel and Weidinger, 2018). Migration processes that tend to follow a hedonic imperative, i.e., a strife for satisfaction, amenities and nice surroundings (Polèse, 2009), recently have become of scientific interest, and are discussed either under the term amenity migration (Bartoš et al, 2009;Steinicke et al, 2012;Moss and Glorioso, 2014) or lifestyle migration in rural areas (e.g. Weidinger and Kordel, 2016 in Spain; Sardinha, 2015 for Portugal; Benson, 2011 for France; Nagy, 2006 for Romania).…”
