Abstract

Migration is an important socio-economic event that is explaining to the
development and change of mankind. In the historical process, people have left
or have to leave the place where they live because of various reasons. It is
quite natural for a person to choose a place of living from his or her creation
and with the influence of the environment or conditions in which he lives
later. This period and change accelerated with the development of economic and
social events and was accepted as a rational behavior. In such a case, it would
be a natural process for a person to leave the place he lived and to set him or
herself a new habitat or place. It is known that all these visions became more
evident especially for people living in rural areas after the Industrial
Revolution. When the question of why people migrate from rural areas is handled
in a multi-faceted way, it can also reveal that new conclusions and views about
the subject can be maintained when rational human behavior is taken up with
economic and social events.
