Florida since 1850: Shifting patterns of population growth
Title
Florida since 1850: Shifting patterns of population growth.
Creator
Drapeau, Jeanne L., Florida Atlantic University, Schultz, Ronald R., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Geosciences
Abstract/Description
Florida's population growth has been spatially and temporally uneven. Significant growth occurred in different regions of the state during certain periods of time. This differential growth was a result of specific socioeconomic conditions that varied both temporally and spatially. Florida was granted statehood 1845 and served as the southern extension of the plantation system. Growth was high in the northern regions of Florida during the antebellum years. After reconstruction, railroad...
Show moreFlorida's population growth has been spatially and temporally uneven. Significant growth occurred in different regions of the state during certain periods of time. This differential growth was a result of specific socioeconomic conditions that varied both temporally and spatially. Florida was granted statehood 1845 and served as the southern extension of the plantation system. Growth was high in the northern regions of Florida during the antebellum years. After reconstruction, railroad infrastructure was developed that connected the distant reaches of the state with each other and the rest of the country. This facilitated the growth of the central regions of the peninsula. The construction of roads and the popularity of the automobile brought settlers and land developers to the southern regions of Florida in the early twentieth century. After a growth slump during the Depression, activities of World War II once again stimulated growth in the state, especially in the southeastern peninsula. The recent phenomenon of elderly migration has shifted growth to the less populated areas of the southwestern peninsula.

INVESTIGATION OF SOCIAL WELL-BEING AND NET MIGRATION IN FLORIDA'S COUNTIES, 1960-70
Title
AN INVESTIGATION OF SOCIAL WELL-BEING AND NET MIGRATION IN FLORIDA'S COUNTIES, 1960-70.
Creator
KRAYNICK, JOHN A., Florida Atlantic University, Schultz, Ronald R., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Geosciences
Abstract/Description
The objective of this thesis was to understand and model social well-being, a way of measuring quality of life, in the counties of Florida. First, the concepts of social well-being were reviewed. Second, models of social well-being for 1960 and 1970 were proposed and developed through a factor analytic approach. Third, the patterns of social well-being were discussed and the change over the decade revealed. Fourth, these components of social well-being were evaluated as explanators of net...

Third, the patterns of social well-being were discussed and the change over the decade revealed. Fourth, these components of social well-being were evaluated as explanators of net migration rates through multiple linear regression. Finally, the results were reviewed, compared to similar approaches, and fitted into an overall picture of social well-being analyses.

MIGRATION TO SOUTHEAST FLORIDA, 1965-70
Title
MIGRATION TO SOUTHEAST FLORIDA, 1965-70.
Creator
CAMARCO, THOMAS JOSEPH, JR., Florida Atlantic University, Schultz, Ronald R., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Geosciences
Abstract/Description
The objective of this thesis was to understand and model the patterns of internal migration to Southeast Florida in terms of spatial, demographic, social, economic, and climatic factors. First, a review of migration theory and research was made. Second, migration is described in terms of the total components of population change in Southeast Florida. Third, aggregate migration, i.e., migration flows, are described and then modeled in gravity model formulations. Fourth, the proportion of...

Third, aggregate migration, i.e., migration flows, are described and then modeled in gravity model formulations. Fourth, the proportion of migrants, i.e., migration rates, are described and modeled using multiple linear regression and principle components analysis. Finally the results obtained are conceptualized in terms of the migrant's decision to migrate to Southeast Florida.
