Migration is an interesting but politically sensitive issue that arouses strong feelings. Some people are ‘pro’ migration, pointing out the economic and cultural benefits, others argue that there are ‘too many people’ and that communities and spaces are becoming overcrowded. Whatever your personal feelings and experiences about migration, there can be no doubt it is of geographical significance. It is also a core topic on AS and A2 specifications.
There is scope for practical fieldwork and research into patterns and processes associated with migration, particularly at the local scale. A range of techniques, including interviews, assessment of place, images and even GIS mapping, can be used to investigate the geography of migration, producing both quantitative and qualitative data.
