is on the United States; one essay discusses international trends.
Essays are included on the ethnic composition of U.S. metropolitan
areas, methods of urban historical research, public policy implications
of small area research, intercensal migration rates, longitudinal
analysis of census tract data, school enrollment projection, and family
planning in the 1990s.
Selected items will be cited in this or
subsequent issues of Population Index.

population redistribution: 1972-1988. Demography, Vol. 27, No. 4,
Nov 1990. 589-600 pp. Washington, D.C. In Eng.
"In seeking to
explain recent trends in population distribution, there has been
increased interest in residential preferences. This study is a
comparison of preferences based on 1972 and 1988 [U.S.] national
surveys, years that bracket a period of considerable change in
distribution patterns. Over time there has been a small shift in
preference toward cities less than 500,000 in size, primarily by those
already living there. Rural settings, especially near cities, continue
to be very attractive. At both times studied, more than half of those
preferring a smaller or more remote place would retain this preference
even if it meant 10% less income. Nevertheless, the proportion
preferring to live more than 30 miles from a large city was unchanged
and approximately equal to the proportion already living there at both
times, indicating that a discrepancy between where people live and
where they want to live is not an important basis for the upturn in
nonmetropolitan growth away from large cities in the 1970s or the
downturn in the 1980s."

"The paper discusses the
distribution of population within 11 north-western and central European
countries from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s. While concentration
into major metropolitan regions was widespread in the 1950s and 1960s,
and counter-urbanization in the 1970s, the 1980s show diverging
developments. In some countries, the major metropolitan regions have
resumed their former growth, and in other countries their growth
remains below or around the national average. The underlying causes
are discussed, and it is suggested that the new information
technologies make different distributions of population possible, with
specific local conditions for economic activities then becoming
decisive."

"This paper documents recent changes in urban and
population trends in Poland. These changes include a sharp decrease in
the spatial mobility of the population, a transition from population
concentration to deconcentration at interregional scale, and a
weakening of the dominance of metropolitan core areas vis-a-vis
metropolitan rings." The author suggests that rates of internal
migration will increase in the 1990s as the large cohorts born in the
1970s enter the labor force.

New York, New York. In Eng.
"This paper will show that the
demographic map of the Land of Israel in its present form is
essentially the principal factor in shaping the extent of Jewish
settlement in this generation, and that there is little possibility of
changing this pattern except for making small and insignificant
adjustments." The author describes the changing demographic picture in
Palestine from the late nineteenth century to the present day,
particularly changes in the ethnic composition of the population. He
concludes that the presence of a majority Arab population in the
Occupied Territories of Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip will oblige
Israel to compromise with regard to granting cultural and political
autonomy. Furthermore, three large Arab enclaves in Israel
proper--Galilee, the triangle, and the Bedouin Negev--will have to be
given up if current settlement patterns do not radically change, which
is itself unlikely.

is estimated. Data are from the censuses of 1857, 1877, and 1900 and

The author discusses different methods of urban analysis, using the
example of Mexico City, Mexico. "In this work two outlines are used:
a concentric one that reflects the city's expansion and a segregated
one that sees the 'different cities' within. We analyze the commercial
occupation of central areas and the growth due to the expansion of the
periphery from 1950 to 1986. In both processes, the massive expulsion
of the inhabitants appears, firstly as an effect and secondly as a
cause. This fact serves as an argument to explore certain proposals in
a prospective dimension. In the technical [spatial] analysis we
generally avoid the design of the city itself. Here we approach some
design ideas without forgetting their social
dimension."

"Socialist urbanization is not a new model of
modern urbanization. East-Central European socialist countries
replicate...the global process. The specific features of their
urbanization result partly from their historical
development--especially their belated urbanization--and partly from
their political system. Behind the facade of East-West differences
lies a common underlying pattern of causality: the modern process of
urbanization. Capitalist and socialist political systems have different
mechanisms by which to express the process but these result in
similarities in long-term urban
development."

"The 1980 U.S. Census revealed a marked
acceleration in the suburbanization of blacks during the 1970s. This
paper provides a preliminary answer to whether that acceleration
continued in the 1980s by examining the 1985 American Housing Survey
(National and Metropolitan Samples). These data sets permit racial and
socioeconomic status comparisons in overall suburbanization level and
in the propensity of recent movers to choose suburban destinations.
Blacks continue to exhibit low levels of suburbanization relative to
whites, and only a small percentage of blacks originating in central
cities move to suburban areas. However, once in the suburbs, blacks
tend to remain there at the same rate as whites. Intrametropolitan
racial segregation remains strong, although it shows signs of
decreasing."

"The study deals with the interplay between migration and

is to what extent Peru's rural-urban migration and rapid urban growth
is triggered by opportunities within the formal and informal sectors in
the growing metropolis of Lima." The data are from official sources,
primary data gathered by the author, and published research reports.
The author concludes that the attraction of urban Lima and the
improvement in living standards experienced by urban in-migrants are
more important than push factors in areas of migrant origin in
fostering migration. The importance of informal networks and personal
contacts in both generating migration and coping with its difficulties
is stressed.

compare tabular data on overall percent urban, urban primacy,

evidence for convergence. To determine whether world-system effects
have causal efficacy, we conclude with a regression analysis. These
results provide strong evidence for a world-system explanation of
continuing differences in overall level of urbanization and urban
primacy, and a developmentalist approach seems to explain persisting
divergence in levels of urban bias."

determinants of growth. The main objective of the study is to examine
whether the growth patterns in the eighties support the hypothesis of a
turnaround in the population development of rural areas....The results
reveal a diversity of growth patterns and significant regional
differences. Rural counties within the daily urban system of a
metropolitan area have significantly higher growth rates than
peripheral rural counties. The results do not support the notion of a
turnaround of long established trends. The trends in the eighties bear
more resemblance to traditional growth patterns of rural
areas."
