Internal migration plays an increasingly important role in the spatial redistribution of population and has become a key component of this process. To fully understand these dynamics, it is essential to analyse migration trends across various spatial levels, from regional to local, while also examining the main directions and intensity of migration flows. This study identifies and evaluates the dominant intraregional (within functional urban regions – FURs) and interregional (between FURs) migration flows in Slovakia between 1996 and 2022, based on anonymised microdata from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. For cartographic interpretation, the Line Density tool was employed, enabling effective visualisation of the spatial aspects of migration processes
