  4. D
    Nucleated settlement clustering around traditional rural market squares

Cevap

Greater concentration of formal employment opportunities and higher potential wages

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distinguish between push factors and pull factors in demographic migration theory.
Push factors are negative attributes of the origin area driving people away, whereas pull factors are positive attributes of the destination attracting migrants.
Correct identification of migration drivers requires separating origin forces from destination attractions.
2
Evaluate the urban economic incentives in the options.
Higher wages and diverse job markets in cities represent desirable destination conditions.
Urban industrial and service sectors concentrate economic capital, serving as the main economic pull factor for rural labor.
