Analys av flyttmönster i Norrköpings kommun

Sammanfattning: The objective of this Bachelor thesis is to analyze moving patterns in Norrköping’s municipality. The main aim is to analyze the migration to, from, and within the municipality of Norrköping, not only for the population as a whole but also for groups of special interest. Another aim is to compare migration patterns in Norrköping with those of other municipalities in Sweden.Several data sets have been used, each of them extracted from population statistics carried out by Statistics Sweden (SCB).Data mining using association analysis is used for finding the migration pattern within Norrköping’s municipality and several questions are examined using descriptive statistics. Mann-Kendall tests are used to determine interesting trends in the population changes.The results show that pre-school children do not remain longer in the city centre than they did previously; people moving to Norrköping from within Sweden move mostly to the city centre, though immigrants from abroad mainly favour Hageby and Åby tätort. Furthermore, the results show that people generally move to areas that are geographically similar to where they were or have been before. There is a decrease in migration of people with a Humanities or Arts background, as there is for those with a pedagogy and teacher training background. Areas with a decrease in migration are the suburbs as well as built-up areas at the fringe of the municipality. Norrköping has both lower immigration and emigration than other comparable Swedish municipalities.
