Abstract

Research on the destinations of environmentally induced migrants has found simultaneous migration to both nearby and long-distance destinations, most likely caused by the comingling of evacuee and permanent migrant data. Using a unique data set of separate evacuee and migration destinations, we compare and contrast the pre-, peri-, and post-disaster migration systems of permanent migrants and temporary evacuees of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. We construct and compare prefecture-to-prefecture migration matrices for Japanese prefectures to investigate the similarity of migration systems. We find evidence supporting the presence of two separate migration systems—one for evacuees, who seem to emphasize short distance migration, and one for more permanent migrants, who emphasize migration to destinations with preexisting ties. Additionally, our results show that permanent migration in the peri- and post-periods is largely identical to the preexisting migration system. Our results demonstrate stability in migration systems concerning migration after a major environmental event.

Findlay’s six principles are (1) most migrants want to stay in their current place of residence; (2) people tend to move over short distances rather than longer distances; (3) people do not always move to the most attractive destination but live/work nearer rather than farther; (4) attraction to destinations can be interpreted as increased income or returns to human capital; (5) destination selection is shaped by preexisting social and cultural connections; and (6) destinations can be viewed as attractive because of the social and cultural capital they offer.
