Abstract

Most of the populace remains geographically immobile according to classical migration theories. An important consideration that limits change of place of residence is attachment to that place and its people, as well as some life-shaping circumstances such as job prospects, education, raising children and the buying of a residential property (Fischer et. al. 2000). More than half of the residents of Rīga (419146) in 2018 have lived in the same neighbourhood for at least 18 years (CSB 2018). This raises the question as to whether they also share common socio-economic circumstances. Geographically immobile residents are the core of the population. Study analyses on the socio-demographic background of geographically immobile residents of Rīga, who have not changed location since the 1990s, used data from a 2015 survey (n=867). The residential 'harbours' for long-term residents are Soviet socialist periodbuilt apartment-block housing neighbourhoods. Having a population of school-age children, people in retirement and/or on a low income might contribute to some of the reasons for staying at one place for longer periods of time in suburban Rīga. The sociodemographic characteristics of the geographically immobile population displays differences among respondents residing in different neighbourhoods. Among the neighbourhoods with the highest share of geographically immobile respondents, the areas located on the outskirts of the capital city are less attractive than those more central and with higher incomes and children.

地理上不流动的城市人口的社会人口构成
根据经典的移民理论,大多数人口在地理上保持不变。限制改变居住地的一个重要考虑因素是对居住地及其人民的依恋,以及一些影响生活的环境,如工作前景、教育、抚养孩子和购买住宅物业(Fischer et. al. 2000)。2018年,超过一半的Rīga居民(419146人)在同一个社区生活了至少18年(CSB 2018)。这就提出了一个问题,即它们是否也有共同的社会经济环境。地理上不流动的居民是人口的核心。研究分析了自20世纪90年代以来没有改变居住地的Rīga地理上不流动的居民的社会人口背景,使用了2015年调查的数据(n=867)。长期居民的住宅“港口”是苏联社会主义时期建造的公寓楼住宅区。有学龄儿童、退休人员和/或收入较低的人可能是在佐治亚州郊区长时间呆在一个地方的一些原因。地理上不流动人口的社会人口学特征在居住在不同社区的受访者中表现出差异。在地理上不流动的受访者所占比例最高的社区中,位于首都郊区的地区的吸引力不如位于市中心、收入和子女较多的地区。
