ABSTRACT

The last 20 years of sociodemographic history in Spain cannot be interpreted without considering the impact of foreign immigration, numerous publications have shown. The aim of this article is to contribute a clear spatial representation of migrants in Spain by combining statistical and mapping methods. Maps showing the rate of variation of immigrant populations point to the existence of an uneven distribution around Spain, during both the period of economic growth and the years when migratory flows waned. On the other hand, the immigrant clusters show that certain geographic areas in Spain attract specific groups; the extent of their presence can be seen on density maps based on location coefficients. In short, this article provides an understanding of foreign immigration in Spain, which other approaches have not achieved.

摘要

许多出版物显示，如果不考虑外国移民的影响，就无法解释西班牙近二十年来的社会人口统计学历史。本文旨在通过结合统计和制图方法，为西班牙移民提供清晰的空间代表性。地图显示了移民人口的变化率，这表明在经济增长时期和移民潮减弱期间，西班牙周围分布不均。另一方面，移民群体表明西班牙的某些地理区域吸引了特定的群体；它们的存在程度可以在基于位置系数的密度图上看到。简而言之，本文提供了对西班牙外国移民的了解，而其他方法尚未实现。
