国内迁移研究越来越关注居住在附近的非居民家庭（住在户外的家庭）在迁移行为中的作用，也越来越关注非迁移和一般停留。结合这两个主题，本文研究了非居民家庭关系在 31-64 岁成年人农村居住中的作用。通过对荷兰、德国和北爱尔兰（英国）的调查和访谈数据进行混合方法分析，我们研究了附近非居民家庭的存在是否与未来留在农村地区的意图有关，并探讨了不同家庭关系的含义以及它们与过去和持续的居住行为的关系。我们的研究结果表明，居住在非居民子女和姻亲附近会增加人们打算在农村地区度过余生的可能性。虽然定量分析表明，父母在该地区的存在并不会影响未来的居住意愿，但访谈显示，父母的住所距离是最初居住决定中不可或缺的一部分。非居民家庭成员提供情感和物质支持，提供特定地点的结构机会，并提供安全感。在一定程度上，家庭义务也在留守中发挥着作用，但这并不是说农村留守者因为家庭关系而“被困在原地”，而是以一种隐含的方式，与归属感和依恋感交织在一起。
Internal migration research is paying increasing attention to the role in migration behaviour of having non‐resident family—family livingoutsideof the household—living close by, and also to non‐migration and staying in general. Combining these two themes, this paper investigates the role of non‐resident family ties in rural staying for adults aged 31–64. Using a mixed methods analysis of survey and interview data from the Netherlands, Germany and Northern Ireland (UK), we examine if the presence of non‐resident family nearby relates to future intentions to stay in the rural region, and we explore the meanings of different family relations and how they relate to past and ongoing staying behaviours. Our findings reveal that living near non‐resident children and in‐laws increases the likelihood of the intention to stay in the rural region for the rest of one's lifetime. While the quantitative analyses suggest that the presence of parents in the area does not contribute to future staying intentions, the interviews revealed that parents' residential proximity was integral in the original staying decision. Non‐resident family members provide emotional and instrumental support, offer location‐specific structural opportunities, and provide a sense of security. Partly, family obligations also play a role in staying, yet not in the sense that rural stayers are ‘stuck in place’ because of family ties, but rather in an implicit way, intertwined with senses of belonging and attachment.
