The Effect of Economic Development on the Migrations; Case of Denizli

Abstract

This study aims at exploring the factors that affect the direction and distribution of migration in Denizli during 1975-2018. Migration is a phenomenon of choice that arises from on the conditions between two places. Migration in Turkey tends to occur from east to west, from the interior to the coastline. Denizli, which is one of the cities both receiving and sending migration, sheds light on interprovincial migration in Turkey. The main source of the study is Turkey’s Statistics Institute’s (TSI) interprovincial migration data related to the permanent residences during 1975-2018. In the analysis of the factors determining the direction and amount of migrations, the number of members of Denizli Chamber of Industry (DSO), the number of establishments, population employed, import and export data were taken as basis. Socio-Economic Development (SEGE) Ranking of Provinces and Regions was also taken into consideration. The data published by TSI, DSO and Ministry of Development were compiled and converted into digital table formats. Periodic net migration maps were created by transferring these data to the ArcGIS environment. Denizli, which was a migration-sending city in 1980, moved to the category of cities receiving migration in 1985. In the period of 2008-2018, the migrations to the city increased while the number of people leaving the city also increased. According to Lee’s ‘Push-Pull Model, which examines the phenomenon of migration from a geographical point of view, industrialization is the pull point of migration in Denizli. However, economic fluctuations direct and determine migrations positively or negatively. For instance, the net migration rate in 2008 which was 601 decreased to -1587 in 2009. The population employed in 2008 was 140,506 while it decreased to 134,898 in 2009. During this period, the number of imports and exports decreased as well. The provinces to which Denizli gave migration in the SEGE ranking are agglomerated as the first and second tiers in the developed provinces. The provinces where the city received migration are generally in the category of third-level developed provinces and other sub-provinces. Immigration and migrations of Denizli mostly happen with near the provinces. The provinces which Denizli heavily received and sent migration are clustered in the neighboring. The direction and amount of migration in Denizli will be shaped by the economic conditions in the future.
