Przesunięcia ludności Korei Południowej na tle intensywnego uprzemysłowienia w latach 1960-1990

Abstract

The article presents analysis of economic growth in South Korea and intensity of internal migration in the period of years 1960 - 1990. Intensity of migration was calculated by means of „W” index, which is modified „Sr” index (A. Malinowski 1976). In the result of calculation the following groups have been distinguished: affluence of population centres („W">1), immigratory districts (0<„W”<1), stagnative districts (-1<„W”<0) and regressive districts („W'’<-1) (fig.2). Regresive and stagnative districts make as much as 91% of the country's area, Affluence of population centres make only 5,8% of the country's area, but, in the study period, they took in 15,5 millions migrants, what makes 83,5% of the whole country population growth An intensive industrialization was caused creation of two clear regions of affluence of population - Seoul and Pusan. In the rest of the country flow of population is directed into regional centres. Complete absence of zones with increased affluence of population around them is a characteristic feature for these centres. They border directly with regressive or stagnative regions.
