“…Other works on this kind of immigration have been focused on more urbanised areas like the Costa del Sol in Andalusia (BARKE and FRANCE, 1996;BETTY and CAHILL, 1998;EATON, 1995;RODRÍGUEZ RODRÍGUEZ et al, 1998a, 1998bNATERA RIVAS, 1995;O'REILLY, 1995), and the southern coast of Alicante (CASADO DÍAZ, 1999. At the same time, other works have examined this issue, taking into account a wider geographical perspective (KING et al, 2000(KING et al, , 1998KING et al, 1999;WARNES, 1991;WARNES et al, 1999;WILLIAMS et al, 1997).…”

-The authors are currently coordinating a three-year research project on the changing settlement patterns and ways of life of foreign immigrant populations located in Spanish rural areas. This article offers a wide academic literature review, highlighting those issues that have been most studied and those under-researched or forgotten. Secondly, it approaches the rural areas where there is a more significant presence of foreign immigrants, offering relevant data and indicating the main sources of information available for their study. Finally, some considerations that may be useful for carrying out future research are suggested.Key words : Immigration in Spain, rural areas, employment sectors. Resumo -IMIGRAÇÃO ESTRANGEIRA NAS ÁREAS RURAIS E NAS PEQUENAS CIDADESESPANHOLAS: SITUAÇÃO ACTUAL E PERSPECTIVAS. Actualmente os autores estão a coordenar um projecto de investigação de três anos, sobre as mudanças nos padrões de distribuição geográfica e as formas de vida da população estrangeira nas áreas rurais espanholas. Neste artigo fazem uma revisão da bibliografia, sublinhando os temas mais estudados e aqueles que não foram ainda tratados ou são pouco conhecidos. Em seguida, fazem uma caracterização das áreas rurais com uma presença significativa de imigrantes estrangeiros, apresentam dados relevantes e indicam as principais fontes de informação disponíveis. Finalmente, tecem algumas considerações que podem ser úteis para futuras pesquisas.Palavras-chave : Imigração em Espanha, áreas rurais, sectores de actividade. I.

“…Retirement is the main "push factor" to initiate this migration process (King et al, 1998). As a "pull factor" the pleasant climate characterised by warmer temperatures, the landscape, a quality lifestyle associated with a healthier and slower pace of life, and also the availability of information about the countries as well as previous holiday experiences are all elements that attract immigrants to southern European countries (Rodríguez et al, 1998;King et al, 1998;Lardiés Bosque and Castro Romero, 2002;Petrov and Lavalle, 2006).…”

“…According to the EEA (2006) the coastal zones of Portugal and Spain, along with Ireland, had the highest rates of urbanisation (20 -35%). In Spain retired immigrants settle in "urbanizaciones" (residential estates) (King et al, 1998) and the construction of these developments has a large expression in rural towns and villages on the Costa del Sol (Rodríguez et al, 1998). In Portugal, the Algarve is the most popular area for retirement.…”

“…(Petrov and Lavalle, 2006, p. 15). Retired immigrants tend to reconstruct semi-derelict farmhouses, live in villas in the rural areas adjacent to the coastal strip or settle in new urban development (King et al, 1998). According to King et al (1998) retired immigrants in Italy, settle in rural areas in Tuscany -in "farmhouses"-but they also present a tendency for urban settlements in major cities such as Florence and Lucca.…”

Migration within Europe and between Europe and other parts of the world is a major driver of population change and has far reaching effects on land use. The theory, historical trends and actual patterns of migration were reviewed and from these an understanding of different categories of migration was developed. The pressures for land use change caused by different types of migration were developed and interpreted into a map of Europe, resolved at NUTSx level and a set of descriptions of land use change projections, examples of which are presented. The paper suggests that the implications of migration on land use change need further research and better data in order to be able to be more certain of trends. In the modern world migration will continue to be a major influence on land use and European policies which consider migration and land use as separate issues are likely to miss important connections.
