A népességmegtartó képesség kérdésköre, valamint kísérlet annak számítására

Abstract

The retention ability is often used in human geography, mainly in the field of inner and outward migration. All territories have retention ability (in extreme case 0), so it can be interpreted for cities, towns, villages or even scattered farms. The research aim is to show a new method to measure the rural population retention ability through the newly developed retention ability index. We analyse the population retention ability through the example of Tiszakécske and Tiszaföldvár. Our results show higher retention ability in the case of Tiszakécske.
