Abstract

As one of the important centers of population, Isfahan province has been a suitable destination for emigration from neighboring provinces during different periods. Today, this province is facing a lot of problems caused by the influx and overpopulation. Therefore, the present study seeks to investigate the consequences of the regional migration process in Isfahan province. In this research, the process of migration to Isfahan province and its consequences were evaluated with the foundational data theory method. This research was done with the method of systematic theory in three stages of open coding, central coding and theoretical selective coding. Information was collected using semi-structured interviews and field observations, and the findings show that migration to Isfahan province is caused by factors such as repulsions of the origin, attractions of the destination, narratives, and migration networks, changes in the conditions at the origin, expectations Cheap living and living in the destination, macro-intensifying approaches to immigration, etc. are created and intensified. This migration process has various consequences that were extracted and categorized into the main categories of economic consequences, socio-cultural consequences, and environmental consequences. It seems that to manage and reduce these consequences, it is necessary to review the redistribution of the population in Isfahan province and its neighboring provinces so that the population can be distributed stably and rationally according to the environmental capacities of the country.
