Abstract
The results show that changing environmental conditions lead to changing patterns of migration, regarding its duration and destination. These patterns can be very specific for different motives and their underlying factors. One principal result of the analysis is that uncertainty in the main income sources correlates with an increase of short-term migrations in order to increase the households' possibilities for income generation. Nevertheless, socio-economic conditions show a greater impact on the people's decision to migrate than environmental conditions.
