Abstract
This thesis investigates the modern phenomena of ruralisation; people leave the city for a life in a calm rural region, explained by theories of lifestyle migration, push pull effects and new expectations. During the last 20 years, migration from Stockholm to four Swedish rural regions have increased with 37 percent according to collected statistics, answering the first research question on how migration to rural regions has changed since 2000.

This thesis investigates the modern phenomena of ruralisation; people leave the city for a life in a calm rural region, explained by theories of lifestyle migration, push pull effects and new expectations. During the last 20 years, migration from Stockholm to four Swedish rural regions have increased with 37 percent according to collected statistics, answering the first research question on how migration to rural regions has changed since 2000. The second question asks what the motivations are to move and what the prior reason is – where reasons to move are categorized in three types of motivations: material, subjective and relational. This is investigated through an interview with a migrant from Stockholm to Duved, Åre. Finally, the third question investigates the efforts required from the region, to identify the challenges and strategies a rural region must develop to be successful. This is investigated through a case study of Duved, including an interview with the project leader of Duvedmodellen, and identifies six strategies. Overall, the results of this thesis show that the combination of personal preferences and material aspects explain why people move, and rural regions must prioritize efforts regarding residence, culture life and service in order to compete with urban areas.
