Abstract


At the beginning of the sixties, Bushehr was the governorate of all the ports and islands of the Persian Gulf, which was politically under the jurisdiction of Fars province. The ports and islands of the Persian Gulf and its coastal areas in the past periods always had a limited population and a low population density due to the political and social conditions as well as its climatic condition. At the beginning of the sixties, with the implementation of agrarian reforms in the country, conditions were created that allowed the rural population to move and migrate more. In this research, an attempt is made to investigate the conditions that accelerated the process of rural migration in the governorate in the 1960s and 1970s. The present research method is descriptive-analytical based on historical documents and sources. According to the findings of the research, in addition to the implementation of land reforms, which freed a large part of the labor force in rural areas, and this additional force went to the city to find work, the climatic and atmospheric conditions of the region and the excessive deprivation of rural areas are also among the reasons. The main expansion of rural migration was in the Governorate of Ports and Islands. This region, which had the lowest urbanization rate in the country in the years before the sixties, faced a high urbanization growth in the following years.
