title: Intentions to move and place attachment of lower educated in a declining rural region
creator: Haan, E.M. de
description: This research tried to find an explanation for the low intentions to move of lower educated and explored what place attachment theory can add to current knowledge on intentions to move. The life course approach, the human capital theory and place attachment theory are discussed and compared in explaining intentions to move. The research was conducted in the declining region East Groningen in the Netherlands, where unemployment is high. Results show that place attachment and having a spouse are significant predictors of intentions to move of lower educated. The place attachment model receives support by the found results. However, the overlap between the human capital theory, the life course approach and place attachment theory is of importance. Support of one approach does not strictly result in rejection of the other approaches. It is striking that the found predictors of intentions to move are all of social nature.
