Evaluation of migration decision-selectivity factors in metropolitan area: a case of Klang Valley region, Malaysia

Internal migration is one of the important spatial phenomena in urban areas that contributes to high level of urban growth and urbanisation. Accordingly, it leads to crucial effects on social, economic and physical developments in urban areas. Hence, understanding of spatial trends and distribution...
