Resumo:This study explores the viability of alternative methods for measuring human mobility in rural settings, with a focus on Portugal. It aims to assess whether these methods can effectively substitute or complement official statistics for modeling migration and mobility. Considering the variables from two rural case studies, the study evaluates emerging applications in the context of direct and indirect migration, commuting mobility, and recreational mobility. Based on a systematic literature review, the study underscores that high-resolution gridded datasets can offer precise population density estimates, however they may be better calibrated against urban areas. Direct migration measurements through gridded net migration datasets exhibit significant discrepancies from official statistics, highlighting a possible absence of current solutions. The availability of commuting and recreational mobility models is also limited geographically, and their adaptation to general rural studies requires considerable effort, which may not be feasible as secondary development for rural research applications. Ethical considerations concerning data privacy, responsible use of AI and potential dual use of technology have been sparsely noted or not significantly discussed in most studies reviewed. Looking forward, the current investment in the improvement of gridded net migration estimates may increasingly result in more accurate and fine estimates. Gradual gains in the understanding of commuting and recreational mobility in rural areas may arise from model transferability.
