Propagation mobility research of Tuzla canton population

Propagation mobility data on individual, reproductive couples and studied generations were collected based on the analysis of spatial distance between individual cardinal dots. Elements for analysis were gathered from questionnaire of 1107 primary and secondary school students in Tuzla area. At the same time 2314 families were analyzed. Propagation mobility research of Tuzla Canton population is based on determining distances between geographical dots characteristic for certain families. For this purpose parameters of propagation mobility are defined. There are three different types of these parameters: marital, pre-marital and post-marital mobility. The objective was to determine the degree of propagation mobility in Tuzla's population in four periods. To analyze data a t-test and a questionnaire were used. The results were shown in table and graph. Although there are similarities in migrational movements of the population (isolation of the studied population), each migrational movement is a consequence of several different causes. We could conclude that local population gradually became isolated and that patrilocal residence was the main reason for it. Also, local population showed larger degree of tolerance and acceptance toward female immigrants than to male immigrants. If we analyze marital mobility in two successive generations, we could see that average value marital mobility in the first generation is by 2.13 % bigger than in the second. Patrilocal residence emerges here as the main characteristic of propagation mobility in studied local population as well as gradual stagnation in migrating process. .
