Abstract

Kinship, religious and other social networks play a key role in the decision to migrate, and in determining migration journeys and return. This includes the role of family members in host countries, who may encourage prospective migrants through remittances and information. Migrants proactively seek information from broader networks and are exposed to information through mass media, word of mouth and social media. Technology has changed the ways in which social networks operate in relation to migration. TV and mobile technology remain a main source of information for migrants, but recent evidence points to the increasing role of online and social media. Internet-based technology and social media are putting different groups of migrants and non-migrant populations in direct contact. However, the documentation on the use of mobile social media is almost exclusively confined to Syrians. Local social networks often involve ties with other migrants, and with smugglers. Migrants often provide each other with reciprocal support for day-to-day subsistence, sharing food and accommodation, as well as information on travel routes and destinations. These local networks are often informal and kept ‘under the radar’.
社会网络与亲属国际移民
亲属关系、宗教和其他社会网络在决定移徙、确定移徙旅程和回返方面发挥着关键作用。这包括东道国家庭成员的作用,他们可能通过汇款和信息鼓励未来的移民。移民主动从更广泛的网络中寻找信息,并通过大众媒体、口耳相传和社交媒体接触信息。技术已经改变了社交网络与移民相关的运作方式。电视和移动技术仍然是移民的主要信息来源,但最近的证据表明,在线和社交媒体的作用越来越大。基于互联网的技术和社交媒体使不同群体的移民和非移民人口直接接触。然而,关于使用移动社交媒体的文件几乎只局限于叙利亚人。当地的社交网络通常涉及与其他移民和走私者的联系。移徙者往往在日常生计方面相互提供支持,分享食物和住宿,以及关于旅行路线和目的地的信息。这些地方网络通常是非正式的,并且保持在“雷达之下”。
