Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper considers frontier migration to the Ecuador Amazon as a multistage phenomenon, examining the entire migration stream from its origins in highland and coastal locales of Ecuador, to intermediate stops outside and within the Amazon, to final Amazon destinations. The approach is one where models pertaining to regional development, migration, and pioneer activity are treated as complementary to one another meshed with a qualitative knowledge of place. It is shown that frontier set element patterns reflect the composite of these models, a maturing space‐economy, and the interaction of local characteristics with exogenesis circumstances representing national and international contexts.
