Hometown Glory – the Benefits of Location‐Specific Capital for Labour Market Outcomes of Vocational Education Graduates
Migration is often associated with favourable labour market outcomes, particularly among higher educated individuals. This paper shifts the focus to the benefits of staying by examining how location‐specific capital shapes labour market outcomes for middle‐skilled vocational education graduates. Using longitudinal register data from Statistics Netherlands, we analyse whether residential history, professional networks, and personal networks are as…
What typifies participatory art projects in the countryside? A quantitative study of the rural-urban continuum of community-based art initiatives
As participatory art projects sprout from local communities, differences across the rural-urban continuum can be expected. Strong self-organisational capacity in tight-knit rural communities, the concentration of cultural facilities in urban areas, or context-specific issues such as gentrification or regional deprivation might play a role in where and in what form participatory art projects emerge. The scarcity of quantitative and rural studies o…
Does Ethnicity Affect Ever Migrating and the Number of Migrations? The Case of Indonesia
This paper is the first to examine to what extent ethnicity affects ever migrating and the number of migrations across the lifespan for the case of internal migration in Indonesia. We use all five waves of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) to study migration behaviour of respondents belonging to some of the largest ethnic groups in Indonesia. Our logistic regression results show that the Minangkabau, Betawi, Madurese, Balinese, Buginese and…
Local Ties as Self-Reported Constraints to Internal Migration in Spain
The internal migration literature has identified various factors that deter migration and encourage staying, but has been less concerned with people’s own reports about what makes it difficult for them to migrate or makes them want to stay. We explore factors that make it difficult to change the place of residence—from here on denoted as constraints—reported in the Spanish survey on Attitudes and Expectations of Spatial Mobility in the Labour For…
The impact of the built environment on creativity in public spaces of Dutch university campuses and science parks
Studies on university campuses public spaces have recognized that there is a significant relationship between the built environment and people’s perceptions of creativity. There is, however, little empirical evidence to support this claim. This research quantifies and measures this relationship, defined as ‘spatial affordances for creativity’, using two types of Dutch university campuses as case studies: inner-city campuses and science parks (SPs…
Point, polygon, or marker? In search of the best geographic entity for mapping cultural ecosystem services using the online public participation geographic information systems tool, “My Green Place”
The mapping of cultural ecosystem services through online public participation GIS (PPGIS) has predominantly relied on geographic entities, such as points and polygons, to collect spatial data, regardless of their limitations. As the potential of online PPGIS to support planning and design keeps growing, so does the need for more knowledge about data quality and suitable geographic entities to collect data. Using the online PPGIS tool, “My Green …
Internal migration in Indonesia
This study examines the roles of individual and household characteristics in internal migration in Indonesia for the first time using the five waves of Indonesia Family Life Survey. Our analysis extends previous research by using a longer period to capture mobility behaviour, by comparing changing of residence across three spatial scales, by incorporating the interaction of relation to household head and gender, and by differentiating migration i…
Promoting regional growth and innovation
We adapt the product-space approach of Hausmann-Hidalgo et al. to the case of Italian provinces, examining the extent to which network connectedness and centrality of a province's exports is related to its economic performance. We construct a new Product Space Position (PSP) index which retains many of the Hausmann-Hidalgo et al. features but which is also much better suited to handling regional and provincial data. The PSP index is found to outp…
Economic linkages between urban and rural regions – what’s in it for the rural
Urban–rural interdependences are modelled based on wages, cost of living, and interregional migration and commuting. Rural-to-urban commuting generates a scenario where the relative level of urban wages can continue to outperform rural wages without residential migration and increased costs of living acting as equilibrating forces. The spread of urban workers could be detrimental for rural regions without clear mechanisms for their human and fina…
Moving Shop
This study addresses the locational puzzle concerning the optimization of firm and residential locations faced by highly educated self-employed entrepreneurs. In contrast to employees, the self-employed have considerable leverage in changing their firm location, which gives them an additional option—apart from a residential move—to resolve household locational issues. Two results stand out. First, firms are generally located very close to the res…
Graduate Migration and Regional Familiarity
This paper provides insights into the spatial mobility patterns of young graduates in the N etherlands. Both home‐to‐ HEI (higher education institution) as well as HEI ‐to‐work mobility results in net flows towards the central economic region of the N etherlands. However, many graduates move within the larger central and peripheral regions and these flows are focused on cities. There is a strong regional component to graduate mobility as origins …
An Analysis of Trends in Spatial Mobility of Dutch Graduates
Considerable attention in the literature has been devoted to spatial mobility as a mechanism in the transition from study to work. In this paper, the relationships between migration and both regional economic circumstances and individual characteristics are investigated using a micro-dataset on Dutch college and university graduates. Over the last decade, some Dutch regions have retained increasingly higher proportions of college graduates. We fi…
Planning for Decline
Some regions in The Netherlands have been experiencing population decline in the last decade(s). Although decline figures are much lower than in more traditional areas of decline in Europe, Dutch planners and policy‐makers feel the need to develop several strategies of planning for decline. This paper gives an overview of regional population trends in the Netherlands up to 2040, showing that at the regional level, population growth and decline ca…
Do the Best Graduates Leave the Peripheral Areas of the Netherlands
There is more and more empirical evidence to show that highly skilled people are an important determinant of economic growth. Consequently, policy‐makers are eager to keep their graduates in the region or attract graduates from elsewhere. It is also well known that people with a higher level of education exhibit high rates of spatial mobility. Much less is known about mobility patterns according to discipline and academic grade. Do the best peopl…
