SBR-9627842 Judith Kenny Rina Ghose U. Wisconsin, Milwaukee This doctoral-dissertation improvement award supports a study of in-migrants to a non-metropolitan county in Montana. The investigators propose that the kind of migration occurring in this case differs from more common patterns of migration from metropolitan areas in the wealth and the motivations of the in-migrants. They will compare migrants' origins, motivations, and socio-economic characteristics to these patterns in a process that has been called "rural gentrification," a phrase most often used in British research on a perhaps-similar British experience in the past 20 years. They will also compare the Montana and the British experience in terms of the results of in-migration on public and private resource ownership and use. The Student intends to make use of Census records, real-estate-sales records, and questionnaires and interviews with in-migrants and other inhabitants of the county. The research reflects the fact that particular areas of the American West are changing rapidly because of an influx of professionals who can either work far away from their actual clients or markets or who can spend much time and money away from their work-related residences. The geographic literature in the United States does not include much study of these changes from a cultural and social perspective. This study should be important both in interpreting these trends based on one case, and in catalyzing further research in this area.

SBR-9627842 Judith Kenny Rina Ghose U. 威斯康星州，密尔沃基 这项博士论文改进奖支持对蒙大拿州非大都市县的移民研究。 调查人员提出，本案中发生的移民类型在财富和移民动机方面与大都市地区更常见的移民模式不同。 他们将把移民的起源、动机和社会经济特征与这些模式进行比较，这一过程被称为“农村绅士化”，这是英国研究过去 20 年可能类似的英国经历时最常用的短语。 他们还将比较蒙大拿州和英国在移民对公共和私人资源所有权和使用的影响方面的经验。 学生打算利用人口普查记录、房地产销售记录以及对移民和该县其他居民的问卷调查和访谈。 这项研究反映了这样一个事实：美国西部的特定地区正在迅速发生变化，因为专业人士的涌入，他们要么在远离实际客户或市场的地方工作，要么在远离工作相关住所的地方花费大量时间和金钱。 美国的地理文献并没有从文化和社会的角度对这些变化进行太多的研究。 这项研究对于根据一个案例解释这些趋势以及促进该领域的进一步研究都应该很重要。
