"Big environmental changes mean ever more Australians will confront the tough
choice of whether to move home or risk staying put.
Communities in the tropical north are losing residents as these regions become
hotter and more humid. Repeated floods have communities along the east coast
questioning their future. Others face rising bushfire risks that force them to
weigh up the difficult decision to move home.
However, the decision-making process and relocation opportunities are not the
same for everyone. Factors such as socio-economic disadvantage and how we are
attached to a place influence decisions to move or stay, where people go and
how they experience their new location.
Our research, working with other researchers at Edith Cowan University’s Centre
for People, Place & Planet and Curtin University, seeks to document when and
why people stay or go, and what this means for places and communities. In
particular, our research suggests who is more likely to go may leave those who
remain even more vulnerable."
