Abstract The specialty of our paper, based on the Hungarian survey of ISSP 2017 is that (1) we only focus on a single (the planning) phase of the migration process, (2) we use the concept of network capital, which fits the strategic features of the migration potential phenomenon, (3) we estimate the impact of the size of Ego’s network and that of the respondents’ strong and weak ties on the migration potential separately, and (4) within the strong ties we analyze the impact of the migration specific networks and the negative perceptions of strong ties. We found that among the network variables, migration-specific network had far the strongest role in the planning phase of migration. This core group contains strong ties to people with migration experience who very likely themselves accumulated network capital that can transfer to Ego. This core network seems to act as hammer and anvil in forging the chain upon which the entire migration planning process depends in a manner very much like the early sociologists and historians/anthropologists described it. Other elements of Ego’s network (such as the size of the network or weak ties) do not have significant impact in the planning phase of migration.

网络资本和迁移潜力

摘要 基于 ISSP 2017 的匈牙利调查，我们论文的特色在于：（1）我们只关注迁移过程的单个（规划）阶段，（2）我们使用了网络资本的概念，它符合迁移潜力现象的战略特征，（3）我们分别估计了 Ego 网络规模和受访者强弱关系对迁移潜力的影响，以及（4）在强关系中，我们分析了特定的移民网络和对强关系的负面看法。我们发现在网络变量中，迁移特定网络在迁移的规划阶段发挥的作用最大。这个核心群体与有迁移经验的人有着密切的联系，他们很可能自己积累了可以转移到 Ego 的网络资本。这个核心网络似乎像锤子和铁砧一样锻造了整个迁移规划过程所依赖的链条，其方式与早期社会学家和历史学家/人类学家所描述的非常相似。Ego 网络的其他元素（例如网络规模或弱关系）在迁移的规划阶段没有显着影响。
