Migracje wewnętrzne w województwie śląskim w układzie podregionów w 2011 r

Migrations constitute nowadays important and actual problem. The subject of the study are internal migrations among subregions (NUTS3) in province slaskie, considered from the spatial point of view. There are applied econometric migration models, i.e. gravitation and distance models, for inflow as well as for outflow of the migrants in subregions; an attempt was undertaken to indicate the factors influencing the level of migration in the province. It turned out that the most important factor for migrants flow are distances among the subregions. Unemployment rate in subregions seemed to hinder the migration processes while high level of wages and incomes stimulated them. Positive balance of migration was characteristic for low industrialized subregions, located in the periphery of the province, while in subregions of high level of industry the migration balance was negative.
