“…The four distinguished types of Ukrainian migrants can be located in the two‐dimensional analytical frame based on frequency and duration dimensions of circulation, as proposed by Taylor and Bell (). However, in contrast to the cited approach, our typology refers to the whole migration projects of migrants and is “sensitive” to the length of experience of migrants.…”

“…The first two variables—frequency of stays and share of time spent in Poland—are classic measures of frequency and duration in internal circulation (Taylor, ; Taylor & Bell, ). However, in our study, we do not calculate these measures in relation to the same fixed period for all migrants, as is usually done in the literature (ibid.).…”

In many of the “newest” immigration countries of Central and Eastern Europe, temporary migration prevails and rates of migrants' settlement are low. This article examines variations in temporary migration patterns and what distinguishes migrants who choose “more permanent” time–space strategies in such temporary migration regimes. Taking Ukrainian migration to Poland as a case study, and applying cluster analysis to survey data from 2010, we propose an empirical typology of migrants based on parameters of their overall mobility history. The majority consists of circular migrants who can be described as either regular or intermittent circulants. Those who represent more permanent mobility patterns can be termed circular transmigrants and long‐term migrants. The latter are more likely than circulants to work outside agriculture, construction, and domestic services—seen as migrant sectors in Poland—and are less involved in family duties in Ukraine. Further, women are more likely than men to be involved in temporary migration for sustained time. The article contributes to the migration literature by proposing a typology of temporary migrants based on detailed parameters of their mobility and by examining how selected characteristics of migrants correlate with their mobility patterns in a temporary migration regime such as posed by Poland.

“…Others before us have explored migration on the Gold Coast, drawing attention to data and methodological challenges (Baum, Mullins, Stimson, & O'Connor, 2002;Mullins, 1990Mullins, , 1991Stimson & Minnery, 1998;Stimson, Minnery, Kabamba, & Moon, 1996). Bell and Ward (2000) and Taylor and Bell (2012) argue that the focus of research has been on permanent migration, and there has been little systematic development of data sets or sophisticated research approaches addressing temporary or circular mobility.…”

Mobilities on the Gold Coast, Australia: implications for destination governance and sustainable tourism

Mobilities of people, capital, labour, expertise, resources and images create significant challenges for sustainable destination governance. This paper discusses the implications of mobilities for destination governance where fluid populations of tourists, residents, second home owners and recreationists, and transnational flows of labour and capital intersect to create and recreate the physical, social, economic and political characteristics of place. Three key processes that affect destination management are identified: the spatial restructuring of destinations, the pluralisation of destination management and the re-envisioning of community. In a study of the hyper-neoliberal destination of the Gold Coast, Australia, mobilities are examined and implications for governance are discussed. Our research highlights the challenges of measuring, evaluating and understanding the extent and complexity of mobilities, and explores the tensions between mobilities and established sustainable tourism principles that suggest governance should be grounded in local community dialogue and values. The differences between "hard" and "soft" power structures in destination governance are noted. The paper contributes methodological insights into the study of mobilities and to theoretical and practical debates about the influence of mobilities on sustainable destination management, especially the need to revisit the meanings of long-accepted concepts in sustainable tourism, including "public interest", "community" and "community-based" tourism.

“…Measures of the balance of movements (Bedford 1973), intensity of circulation (Young 1979) and velocity of circulation (Standing 1982) were also devised to establish the degree of circularity in population mobility. Taylor (1986) extended this work by constructing lifelines tracing patterns of circulation that combined cycles of movement with the duration of time away from home, and later applied this approach to distinguish different forms of mobility among Indigenous Australians by graphically positioning the frequency and duration of moves on an x-y scattergram (Taylor and Bell, 2012).…”

Living with drought: a study of spatial mobility in semi-arid Northeast Brazil

This thesis examines spatial mobility in relation to livelihood portfolios and capital assets among rural households during the 2010-2013 drought in semi-arid Northeast Brazil. Spatial mobility is a strategy adopted by rural households to respond to the impacts of climatic events in marginal regions around the globe. Permanent and seasonal forms of migration have been widely documented in the African Sahel and in Southeast Asia, but less attention has been given to South America. Moreover, little consideration has been given to the way climatic events impact on local forms of temporary mobility, including diurnal activity patterns and circular mobility.The distinctive socioeconomic and physical context of Northeast Brazil provides a unique setting to explore these relationships. On the one hand, the settlement pattern provides greater spatial choice. On the other hand, a robust welfare system reduces vulnerability to external stressors such as climatic events. At the same time, semi-arid Northeast Brazil suffers from cyclical droughts, including an intense and prolonged drought for the majority of 2010-2013. Such slow-onset climatic events represent a major threat to marginal communities relying on rain-fed agricultural systems. This study presents an empirical account of the impacts of the recent drought on spatial mobility and livelihood strategies in three rural localities in the State of Ceará. The methodology is multifaceted including, analysis of aggregate regional data on migration and climate, a survey of rural households, key-informant interviews, and the application of a new toolkit designed to capture the spacetime signature of local circulation patterns. Nested within a regional case-study, these data were complemented by a macro approach which examines the broad socioeconomic and climatological context of the region. A robust conceptual model was developed to guide the research, situating household livelihood strategies in a framework defined by access to five broad groups of assets, within the wider socioeconomic and physical context, and tracing changes in the spatiotemporal dimensions of mobility resulting from the drought. At the aggregate level, the study uses census data and indirect estimates to link population dynamics to climatic events in the Northeast Region and in the State of Ceará. At the micro level, the study couples an intensive survey with field observation to examine household access to five forms of capital which mediate livelihood strategies among smallholder farmers. Analysis revealed four distinctive types of households, which differed in asset endowment and livelihood strategies:welfare-dependent, mixed livelihood, non-farming and commercial livestock-oriented.ii Differences between the four types were reflected in the way they were impacted by climatic events, and in the strategies employed to respond to the hardship.The study also sought to compare household perceptions of changes in the local climate against scientific climatological data. Respondents showed clear ...
