Abstract
Included under this rubric are studies carried out to a large extent by geographers, demographers and others specializing in the study of population. The specific focus of the chapter is that of behavioral and attitudinal research — such as the bases for decisions to move or migrate, or determinants of preferences for different geographic areas as places to live — relevant to issues of population and population distribution. Work based exclusively on demographic data, such as comprises the bulk of research on mobility, migration, population movements, etc., has been excluded from consideration.
