A RESEARCH ON THE POPULATION IMMIGRATING INTO CITIES OF SÖKE AND ÖDEMİŞ

Abstract

The trend, which is followed recently in terms of internal migration movement in the entire Turkey, is that the immigration level within a province is higher than the interprovincial immigration level. However, all of the provinces with a positive migration level between the provinces are located in the western regions of the country. The Province of İzmir is the third among the most immigrated provinces and the fifth province with positive net migration level within entire Turkey'. The other provinces with a positive net migration rate in the Aegean region are Muğla and Aydın. Within the scope of this study, the population structures, received through immigration by the town-centres of Ödemiş and Söke counties under the provinces of İzmir and Aydın, which are geographic neighbours and having positive net migration levels in the Aegean Region are discussed. The scope of work will be limited within the framework of the three main titles: 1. The emigrated settlements and causes of migration, 2. The socio-economic conditions of the immigrating population in the immigrated place, 3. The expectations of the immigrating population for future.
