To date population geography research has focused on migration. Especially in rural areas, those who do not move are seen as a residual category and their motivations for staying receive limited academic or policy attention. STAYin(g)Rural investigates why and how people stay in rural areas at different stages of their lives. It acknowledges that people elect to (selectively) belong to and participate in rural areas and that different types of mobilities influence their staying processes.A mixed methods approach is employed which combines a questionnaire survey, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions in three peripheral and depopulating rural case study regions: east Groningen (Netherlands), south Tyrone (Northern Ireland) and south Lower Saxony (Germany). STAYin(g)Rural focuses on three life course stages which are known triggers for re-negotiating residential choices: young adulthood, family formation and post-retirement.STAYin(g)Rural will yield significant new insights on: (i) contemporary types of rural stayers and staying processes; (ii) how rural belonging and mobility relate to processes of staying and active participation to maintain rural quality of life, and (iii) how these are performed in different geographical contexts and at different life stages. Preparation of, and outcomes from, each research phase will be shared and discussed with rural stakeholders via national Steering Groups, case study seminars and an international workshop.

迄今为止，人口地理学研究的重点是移民。尤其是在农村地区，那些不搬家的人被视为剩余类别，他们留下来的动机受到的学术或政策关注有限。 STAYin(g)Rural 调查人们在生命的不同阶段留在农村地区的原因和方式。它承认人们选择（选择性地）属于和参与农村地区，不同类型的流动性影响他们的停留过程。采用了混合方法，结合了问卷调查、半结构化访谈和焦点小组讨论，在三个外围和人口减少的农村案例研究地区：东格罗宁根（荷兰）、南蒂龙（北爱尔兰）和南下萨克森（德国）。 STAYin(g)Rural 重点关注生命历程的三个阶段，这三个阶段是重新协商居住选择的已知触发点：青年期、家庭组建和退休后。STAYin(g)Rural 将在以下方面产生重要的新见解： (ii) 农村归属感和流动性如何与维持农村生活质量的停留和积极参与过程相关，以及 (iii) 这些在不同地理环境和不同生命阶段如何进行。每个研究阶段的准备工作和成果将通过国家指导小组、案例研究研讨会和国际研讨会与农村利益相关者分享和讨论。
