MACUACE OTERO, Ronald Alejandro  and  GOMEZ SANCHEZ, Andrés Mauricio. MlGRATION TO RURURBAN SPACES IN POPAYAN (COLOMBIA) FOR THE FIRST DECADE OF THE 21ST CENTURY. rev. econ. Caribe [online]. 2014, n.14, pp.64-89. ISSN 2011-2106.

Urban growth has strong economic, social, environmental, and even political implications. In this century some of these impacts have been identified in Popayán. They began decades ago, but gained momentum in recent years, due not only to the rapid population growth but increased migration, mass urban settlements of subnormal population in lowly populated territories, the rurbanization, among others. In this vein, this paper investigates through a Multinomial Logit model for the social and economic determinants of migration to Popayan. The main results are that the security offered by the city is what most likely motivates a family to migrate to the Cauca capital, followed by the acquisition of housing, health and attachment to rural life.

Keywords : Migration; Rururban; Econometrics.
