Analysis of Rural Migration Effects on Khoramdareh1

Rural migration not only leaves fundamental effects on the target habitats, but also causes drastic change on the structure of the source villages. The city of Khoramdarreh witnessed some changes on the price of land, destruction of the surrounding farming lands, and on the formation of the margin and boundaries. It seems that the main reason of such changes is the immigration of villagers from the suburban areas to the city. In the present research, all data and information are collected through the library documents, questionnaire, field study and interview. The main aim of the research is the detection and analysis of the consequences of the rural migration to the city of Khoramdarreh. The statistical society of the present research is the population of Khoramdarreh, and the sampling method is the simple systematic sampling from the central and suburban districts. This research is based on analytic–descriptive method that studies population changes, the price of land, and urban physical development as the main consequences of rural migration. Statistical method is used for the analysis of data and the urban status during the last few years of the period. The results of the study reveal that there is a direct relationship between people's immigration from the surrounding villages of Khoramdarreh to the city of Khoramdarreh. Secondly, there is a close relationship between people's immigration and urban structural changes such as, urban physical development, destruction of farming lands, formation of new urban spaces, development of the margin, and consequently, unreasonable increase in the price of lands.
