“…In order to investigate residential mobility in rural areas, a case study approach has been preferred. Case-study research has been widely employed in studying rural in-migration phenomena (Champion 1989;Halfacree 1994;Dahms 1995Dahms , 1998Spencer 1995;Walmsley et al 1998;Dahms and McComb 1999;Ford 1999;Dam et al 2002;Rivera-Escribano 2007;Mahon 2007;Meijering et al 2007). The case studies developed in this article constitute three cases of rural areas, that is, electoral divisions (EDs), in Co. Kildare, Co. Tipperary (South) and Co. Clare (see also Fig.…”

This article focuses on rural mobility and rural housing using three case studies in Ireland. It is argued that while rural change and rural in-migration have been in the spotlight in academic literature, there has been a very limited interlinking between rural mobilities and population movements and spatial planning and housing research. This is surprising given the current policy framework in local and regional spatial planning, which in many cases adopts narratives of counter-urbanisation. This article investigates the extent and types of rural residential mobility, including counter-urbanisation, ruralto-rural migration and local movements. Then, it examines the reasons driving residential mobility and finally it explores the relationship between mobility and new house building in rural areas. The article concludes that an understanding of rural mobilities is necessary for planning and housing policy, in not only providing background information for an evidence-based approach in policy making, but also in exploring new policy interventions when dealing with rural housing demands.

“…coastline and lakefront, mountain landscapes) and in those with a small-town atmosphere (traditional urban fabrics and vibrant downtowns). From this perspective, location in small urban areas would be based on lifestyle preferences rather than merely on industry imperatives (Dahms, 1998; Gottlieb, 1994), choices made possible by increased mobility, flexible work practices and electronic communications (Dahms, 1998; Markusen and Schrock, 2006; van Oort et al ., 2003). Although not all cultural workers benefit from flexible conditions, more do than in other industries.…”

This paper looks at the residential location of cultural workers in the smallest Canadian cities, with the primary goal of understanding the factors making some more successful than others in attracting them. The study examines employment in 13 cultural industries in 109 small Canadian urban areas using data drawn from the 2006 Canadian census. Six explanatory factors are put forward and entered into a regression model to explain the location of cultural workers in small places: size, location with respect to metropolitan areas, work structure, amenities, elderly populations and public-sector choices. The results suggest that, beyond industry-specific production processes, the location of cultural workers in small cities is also driven by residential and lifestyle preferences.

“…The limit of this commuter zone is typically suggested as around 1 h's drive from major urban employment nodes, which underlines the importance of time use in the structure of modern rural areas. Large-lot housing development can significantly alter the land-use structure and social character of the more intensively exurbanized portions of the commuter belt (Clark et al, 2009;Dahms, 1998;Lamb, 1983;Millward, 2000Millward, , 2002Sharp and Clark, 2008).
