The objective of this
study is to determine the factors that affect the will of migration from rural
to urban in Coruh River Chachment. For this end, a survey study including 600
farmers from 30 forest villages was conducted. Using the data collected out of
this survey, a limited dependent variable model is estimated with binomial
probit estimation procedure. Age and education level of the farmers, number of
family members in the household and amount of land the farmers own were found
to be statistically significant. The age of farmers, the amount of farm land
and having social security insurance affect migration from rural area
negatively, while education level and number of family members affect
positively. These results from regression analysis imply that farm size in
terms of land must be increased and social security insurance needs to be
spreaded among farmers.
