Abstract
[spa] En este artículo se analiza el impacto de los movimientos migratorios en los municipios catalanes de menos de mil habitantes en el periodo 1996-2006, coincidiendo con el acelerado incremento de población de nacionalidad extranjera. A partir de los datos del padrón continuo y del movimiento natural de la población se construye una tipología de municipios en función de su evolución demográfica reciente y del crecimiento de residentes extranjeros. Los resultados indican que, pese a que prácticamente todos los municipios pequeños han incorporado población extranjera, en cuatro de cada cinco casos se mantiene una dinámica demográfica negativa o de crecimiento poco significativo. La llegada de inmigración internacional, reforzada o contrarrestada por los flujos de población de nacionalidad española, ha acentuado la diferenciación territorial entre un rural dinámico, minoritario, y un rural regresivo, presente en la mayor parte del territorio interior.
[eng] «Foreign and Spanish-nationality migratory flows in the Catalan rural areas: Depopulation or new territorial patterns?» This paper analyses the impact of migration on Catalan municipalities which had less than 1.000 inhabitants during the period 1996-2006, within a context of an accelerated foreign-nationality population growth. Padron Continuo and Movimiento Natural de la Población data is used to build a municipalities’ typology. Results show that, even though practically all these small municipalities have received foreign immigrants, around 80% of them are still loosing population or have a poor increase. Therefore, the arrival of international immigrants, reinforced or counteracted by Spanish internal flows, has emphasized the territorial dichotomy between a few dynamic rural areas and regressive ones, the latter still occupying most of inland Catalonia.
