Remote and inaccessible rural unlike therural adjacent to large cities whichbenefit from the effects of populationdensity and suburbanize, traditionallyhave to rely on their own internalresources and they do not have anyopportunity for attracting urban population. At thesame time, some of villages are at a higher level dueto the presence of natural capacities and theavailability of open space for leisure and recreationwithout any stressful factors, and therefore areinterested for diversity of outlooks, relaxation andmeditation. Similarly, under different circumstances,different perspectives of demographic changes can befound, along with stagnation, dynamism can beobserved. In fact, the experiences of life and ruralityare significantly different between individuals andsociety (however, if we have similar andhomogeneous situations spatially). This is rooted in aset of cultural and social characteristics that bringresidential preferences and expectations and, consequently,demographic movements. The purpose of this studyis to illustrate the plurality and diversity of remoterural areas (micro level) in relation to immigrationmotives and demographic movements based ondifferent routine lives of local residents and variousmoral and cultural discourses in societies, and controlthe preferences of individuals in choosing the location.
