ABSTRACT

Over the last two decades, migration-as-adaptation discourses have theorized and studied how migration could facilitate adaptation to deal with the effects of adverse environmental change. However, contextual factors, such as migration trends and local social and economic contexts, as well as perceptions of this linkage have often been neglected. This study aims to understand how people perceive this relationship and whether and how migration, often in the form of remittances, is used for adaptation purposes. For this study, 48 semi-structured interviews were conducted with inhabitants of Tangier and Tinghir (Morocco). These regions are confronted differently by environmental change impacts. While both face increasing precipitation and temperature changes, Tinghir is additionally confronted with drought, desertification, water scarcity, and a growing number of more extreme weather events. Furthermore, both regions receive internal migrants and experienced significant emigration towards Europe. Results indicate that migration, as well as the sending of remittances, could produce a multitude of adaptation outcomes towards environmental change, resulting in an exacerbation of existing social vulnerabilities, alter economic development at the community level, and impact the development of alternative adaptation strategies, at both the individual/household and community levels. Findings demonstrate that migration-as-adaptation discourses must be considered within social, political, economic, and environmental contexts. These discourses should consider local migration histories and prevalent cultures of migration.

定性研究在廷吉尔和丹吉尔(摩洛哥)应对环境变化的迁移适应关系

摘要

在过去的二十年里,迁移作为适应的论述已经理论化并研究了迁移如何促进适应以应对不利的环境变化的影响。然而,背景因素,如移民趋势和当地社会和经济背景,以及对这种联系的看法,往往被忽视。本研究旨在了解人们如何看待这种关系,以及移民(通常以汇款的形式)是否以及如何用于适应目的。在这项研究中,对丹吉尔和廷吉尔(摩洛哥)的居民进行了 48 次半结构化访谈。这些地区面临着不同的环境变化影响。在面临降水增加和温度变化的同时,廷吉尔还面临着干旱、荒漠化、水资源短缺、以及越来越多的极端天气事件。此外,这两个地区都接受了内部移民,并经历了大量的欧洲移民。结果表明,移徙以及汇款可以产生多种适应环境变化的结果,导致现有社会脆弱性加剧,改变社区一级的经济发展,并影响替代适应战略的制定,在个人/家庭和社区层面。调查结果表明,必须在社会、政治、经济和环境背景下考虑迁移作为适应的话语。这些论述应考虑当地移民历史和流行的移民文化。这两个地区都接收了国内移民,并经历了大量的欧洲移民。结果表明,移徙以及汇款可以产生多种适应环境变化的结果,导致现有社会脆弱性加剧,改变社区一级的经济发展,并影响替代适应战略的制定,在个人/家庭和社区层面。调查结果表明,必须在社会、政治、经济和环境背景下考虑迁移作为适应的话语。这些论述应考虑当地移民历史和流行的移民文化。这两个地区都接收了国内移民,并经历了大量的欧洲移民。结果表明,移徙以及汇款可以产生多种适应环境变化的结果,导致现有社会脆弱性加剧,改变社区一级的经济发展,并影响替代适应战略的制定,在个人/家庭和社区层面。调查结果表明,必须在社会、政治、经济和环境背景下考虑迁移作为适应的话语。这些论述应考虑当地移民历史和流行的移民文化。以及汇款,可能会产生多种适应环境变化的结果,从而加剧现有的社会脆弱性,改变社区层面的经济发展,并影响个人/家庭和社区层面。调查结果表明,必须在社会、政治、经济和环境背景下考虑迁移作为适应的话语。这些论述应考虑当地移民历史和流行的移民文化。以及汇款,可能会产生多种适应环境变化的结果,从而加剧现有的社会脆弱性,改变社区层面的经济发展,并影响个人/家庭和社区层面。调查结果表明,必须在社会、政治、经济和环境背景下考虑迁移作为适应的话语。这些论述应考虑当地移民历史和流行的移民文化。并在个人/家庭和社区层面影响替代适应战略的制定。调查结果表明,必须在社会、政治、经济和环境背景下考虑迁移作为适应的话语。这些论述应考虑当地移民历史和流行的移民文化。并在个人/家庭和社区层面影响替代适应战略的制定。调查结果表明,必须在社会、政治、经济和环境背景下考虑迁移作为适应的话语。这些论述应考虑当地移民历史和流行的移民文化。
