The changing structure of nonmetropolitan migration in the American Deep South.
"The United States and other post-industrial societies have recently undergone a form of population deconcentration characterized as rural-urban 'population turnaround'.  This phenomenon may be attributed to changes in internal migration patterns.  Explanations for such changes frequently imply that they have been accompanied by changes in the structure, or determinants, of migration.  This study examines that thesis for a specific region, the American Deep South, for the 1950-1978 time period."  The results suggest "that a structural transformation has occurred.  During the 1950s, a decade of heavy net emigration, nonmetropolitan migration patterns were closely linked to the patterning of sustenance activity and metropolitan accessibility.  By the 1970s, such linkages had weakened considerably.  But this structural transformation can be detected in some parts of the region in the 1960s.  Elsewhere, it still had not occurred in the 1970s."
