Abstract
In this paper I will suggest the core of Zelinskys hypothesis that there are definite patterned regularities in the growth of personal mobility through space-time during recent history is relevant to the analysis of population at regional and local levels. The objective of my study was to examine a relatively small area in the southern Peruvian highlands to see whether a definite spatial and temporal structure of could be identified. I relied principally on histories so I was dealing with movements within the memories of the oldest living inhabitants. My analysis is therefore restricted in both time and space compared with Zelinskys model but it deals with specific local and regional time-space patterns to put flesh on the bones of his abstract global hypothesis. What I will call the migration transition encompasses the change from Zelinskys Phase I or premodern traditional society to Phase II early transitional society. (excerpt)
