Spatial population mobility in Poland, 1952-1985.
This is a summary of the author's 1989 study on internal migration in Poland from 1952 to 1985. "The main aims of the study are: to describe spatial patterns of different types of migration vis-a-vis national socioeconomic change on the basis of the available unified statistical material...; to identify changes in the intensity and range (distance) of those movements; [and] to propose a hierarchical regionalization of permanent migration based on inter-voivodship flows, using the Slater method, as well as to identify the stage by the process of modernization of spatial mobility which has been reached in Poland." Data are primarily from official sources, including censuses and the current population register.
