“…Earlier research has shown that in many developed economies, residential preferences for rural areas have generated significant rates of counterurbanisation (Champion, 1989;Woods, 2005;Halfacree, 2008;De Groot et al, 2012) sometimes linked to new business creation through commercial counterurbanisation trends too (Bosworth 2010;Mitchell and Madden 2014). Furthermore, the convenience of rural locations for dual career families (Green et al, 1999) adds to demands for rural living.…”

Urban-rural interdependences are modelled based on wages, cost of living and interregional migration and commuting. Rural-to-urban commuting generates a scenario where the relative level of urban wages can continue to outperform rural wages without residential migration and increased costs of living acting as equilibrating forces. The spread of urban workers could be detrimental for rural regions without clear mechanisms for their human and financial capital to penetrate local economies. Therefore, "What's in it for the rural?" depends upon the ability of rural regions to capture the value attached to highly mobile, skilled workers choosing to live in the rural region.

“…Scholars have made several theoretical considerations regarding rural migration (e.g., Hugo and Smailes 1985;Wardwell 1980;Wood 1981). The conceptual framework for this study (Figure 1) was constructed on the basis of the individual mobility, decision-making process, theoretical framework adopted by de Groot et al (2012). It includes the formation of a positive attitude toward moving (e.g., a desire, intention, or expectation); the search for and evaluation of housing alternatives; and, finally, the decision to move or to stay.…”

“…Niedomysl and Amcoff (2011), for example, regarded any cluster of buildings hosting more than 1,000 inhabitants as urban and the rest as rural. De Groot et al (2012) considered that the presence of agriculture, forests, or natural areas (constituting more than 44.4 percent of the area) and relatively few business sites (less than 14.7 percent of the area) are prerequisites of rurality. Bijker, Haartsen, and Strijker (2012) adopted Statistics Netherlands's national standard for the degree of urbanization and considered that rural areas consist of municipalities with an average of less than 1,000 addresses per square kilometer.…”

“…Against this background, Europe and the United States have made tremendous efforts to understand the increasing number of people who have migrated to rural areas during the last decade, especially since the social trend of counterurbanization (i.e., "a migratory movement, sometimes referred to as counterstream migration," that "give [s] rise to a deconcentrated settlement pattern" [Mitchell 2004:21]) was perceived (e.g., Beale 1975;Champion 1989). In fact, as cited by de Groot et al (2012), the increasing popularity of living in rural areas is often referenced in geographical studies such as Jones et al (2003) for the United States, McGrath (2001) for Ireland, and Stockdale (2010) for Scotland, among others. Stereotypically, those who migrate are middle-aged and middle-class; they prefer to live in the country or even seek a "rural idyll" (e.g., Benson and O'Reilly 2009;Matthews et al 2000; van Dam, Heins, and Elbersen 2002).…”

Psychological and Behavioral Predictors of Rural In‐migration

In recent times, many studies have been conducted to understand those who migrate to rural areas. However, few have investigated the psychological and behavioral factors that affect people's decisions to migrate to rural areas. This study identifies the psychological and behavioral factors that have been suggested in the psychology literature and in rural studies as factors affecting people's decision to move to rural areas. The study is unique in that it categorizes the psychological states during the process of rural migration decision into three levels and identifies how psychological and behavioral factors affect people at each level. Researchers collected data from 906 respondents in Japan, including 128 people who had migrated to rural areas. The findings show that environmental and health concerns were significantly associated with initiating the procedure of the rural migration decision, while motives related to spiritual growth and employment were strongly connected with completing the procedure by actually migrating to rural areas. These findings contribute to a better understanding of a question that attracts a great deal of political attention in Japan: Why are rural areas gaining popularity especially after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011? This study represents the first time that the importance of psychological and behavioral traits, as measured by psychometrically sound scales, has been confirmed within a model explaining the decision to migrate to rural areas.

Now in the early 21st century after several decades of population shrinkage, kibbutzim are experiencing renewed growth. In-migration to kibbutzim reflects the re-appreciation of rural living, a phenomenon sought by counterurbanites and gentrifiers alike. Drawing on two regions (exurban and peripheral) in northern Israel, we examined the case of migrants to newly-built spaces in kibbutzim known as private neighborhoods. We analyse the characteristics of migrants and their motivation for migration, probing the framework of rural gentrification to study repopulation under different conditions and constraints. In accordance with the literature, migrants to kibbutzim value the well-known benefits that rural spaces have to offer but their profiles and their impact on rural communities are different than those prescribed by the literature. Acknowledging their conceptual merit, counterurbanisation and, more specifically, rural gentrification, would benefit from reflecting on the role of organizational, institutional and spatial variations in producing diverse routes for the repopulation of rural space. pursuit for greater robustness and validity of gentrification as a conceptual framework. 674I.
