MIGRATION PROCESSES IN THE TYUMEN REGION

Abstract

The article discusses some aspects of population migration in the territory of the Tyumen region (except autonomous districts). Special attention is paid to studying three levels of migration processes in the territory: - Comparison of population migration in the regional center with migration in the region as a whole. - Finding the typical features of intraregional, interregional, and international migration. - Identification of differences in male and female migration. As an information basis for the study, we used official statistics of municipalities for 6 years (from 2014 to 2019), namely the number of arriving and leaving migrants by gender and by type of migration. Spatial analysis and mapping of the results were performed with the help of ArcGIS Pro tools. Using Getis-Ord Gi * metric (Hot Spot Analysis tool from the Spatial Statistics set), statistically significant spatial clusters of high and low values (hot and cold spots) were identified for the selected indicators. The minimum cluster size was defined as a set of municipalities sharing a common border with the given municipal formation. The paper provides conclusions concerning the identified features of migration processes and outlines directions for further research.
