“…The findings present a set of consistent factors for a person deciding to move to this rural region, with these being underfunded and more adverse places, with multiple challenges (Carvalho and Oliveira 2017;ESPON 2018;Morén-Alegret et al 2021;Mota 2019).…”

“…The current study area, namely the Alentejo region, is characterized by rural areas and smaller cities and can thus be framed as a low-density territory (Deliberação no. 55/2015), which indicates depopulation; poor access to public services and employment; low accessibility; lack of economic competitiveness and innovation; as well as precarious governance (Carvalho and Oliveira 2017;ESPON 2018;Morén-Alegret et al 2021;Mota 2019).…”

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes the crucial role of the regional dimension for economic, social, and environmental development. Sustainable development may be linked to migration management to strategically disperse international migrants to regions in need of ameliorating rural challenges. This paper explores the features affecting international migrants’ intentions to move to rural areas, such as Alentejo, Portugal, based on a set of micro-, mezzo-, and macro-sociological migration theories to support policymakers. This paper addresses the following research question: what motivates immigrants’ decisions to move to rural regions, such as Alentejo, Portugal? Practitioners (n = 8) and migrants (n = 15) were interviewed, and then a thematic analysis supported by MaxQDA 2022 was conducted. The results suggest that there is a set of motives for international migrants to move to rural areas and smaller cities based on multilevel factors, both economic and non-economic, such as the following: employment availability and promises of work; lower living costs compared to bigger cities; quality of life; local services support; and echoes of the country of origin. Migrants’ networks and seeking greater opportunities were consistent motives. The pull to rural areas, however, is a side effect of the attraction of Portugal and Europe as destinations. The conclusions highlight implications for policy and practice on migration and local development.

“…Finalmente, el tiempo también es un aspecto que impacta en la movilidad de la población dedicada a actividades remuneradas (Carvalho & Sales, 2017). De acuerdo con los hallazgos de la investigación, las mujeres son quienes tienden a invertir más minutos en promedio en cada uno de sus trayectos: cerca de 7 de cada 10 mujeres invierten más de 30 minutos en comparación con los casi 5 de cada 10 hombres.…”

“…Esto, pese a que la ruralidad se compone de movilidades complejas formadas por flujos constantes de sus habitantes (Milbourne & Kitchen, 2014). Aunque se registran algunos avances en la literatura internacional (Starkey et al, 2021;Carvalho & Sales, 2017;Thynell, 2017), específicamente para las ciudades de América Latina no ha habido un abordaje riguroso que indague sobre cómo mujeres y hombres que residen en territorios rurales efectúan sus viajes diarios.…”

Este artículo caracteriza los patrones de movilidad de mujeres y hombres que residen en el primer anillo de desarrollo rural de Cuenca (Ecuador). Se enfoca en quienes desempeñan actividades ocupacionales económicas remuneradas, educativas y tareas del cuidado. A partir de los datos de una encuesta representativa aplicada en la zona de estudio se describen los destinos, medios de transporte, tiempos y otras variables asociadas con sus viajes cotidianos. Los resultados muestran que la movilidad de todos los grupos se caracteriza por viajes hacia el área urbana. Sin embargo, las mujeres que desempeñan actividades remuneradas y tareas del cuidado usan más el transporte público e invierten más tiempo en sus viajes. Se concluye remarcando la importancia de los roles de género, los vínculos ocupacionales y el transporte público en la movilidad rural.

“…In this work, we pay attention to several challenges that rural areas face [2]. These systems are characterized by poor access to public services and jobs, low accessibility, a lack of innovation, a lack of economic competitiveness, and precarious governance [3,4]. As a result, in Portugal, a policy of positive discrimination has emerged for so-called "Low-Densty Territories" (LDT).…”

Rural areas face multiple challenges. Among these are population decline and the attendant economic and social problems, namely demographic issues. Although the factors that draw immigrants to other countries are known, comprehending the factors that result in immigrants remaining in rural areas after their arrival could support informed local policies and practices. The purpose of the study is to explore the motivations that shape immigrants’ intentions to stay in Alentejo, a depopulated region in Portugal. The research questions are as follows: What motivates immigrants to remain in depopulated regions in Portugal? Furthermore, what contributions can practitioners and immigrants make to local policies and practices? Practitioners (n = 8) and non-European Union immigrants (n = 15) living in this region were interviewed between 2020 and 2021. The empirical data were analyzed using the MaxQDA software. The results indicated that the intention to remain in rural areas arises from a progressive process: this is a process that immigrants experience that motivates them to stay there long-term. The factors influencing the process include four components described throughout this work: (1) Instrumental and material motivations; (2) Emotional and social motivations; (3) Motivations based on the quality of life; and (4) Motivations based on the political dimension. The conclusions highlight the implications for policies and practices, suggesting more investment into rural regions to reverse the depopulation trend.
