Abstract
Many government policies indirectly influence migration patterns, yet relatively few governments have sought to relate these diverse influences in such a way as to form an integrated migration strategy. The situation is illustrated from the Tunisian experience. It is agreed that knowledge gained from spatial analysis of migration systems can be directly applied to increasing the efficiency of government investments designed to temporarily modify the orientation and volume of migration flows. From a review of the possible measures available for altering migration patterns it is concluded that longer-term changes in patterns of population redistribution can be achieved only by migration strategies which either (i) seek to modify the urban bias in the aspirations of migrant populations, or (ii) plan to fundamentally alter the structure of national settlement systems.
