Abstract
It is a process in which residents of rural environments regularly travel to urban centers for
work, education, services, or a better quality of life. This paper analyzes the rural-urban mobility of the
inhabitants of one village near Bitola, to determine the factors affecting their daily or occasional movement to
the city. The survey is conducted through a questionnaire that covers demographic characteristics (age,
occupation, level of education), economic conditions (height of income, household size), as well as
transportation options (ownership of a car, type of transportation used, frequency of travel). Additionally, the
reasons for traveling to the city, work, education, health services, shopping and administrative obligations are
analyzed, as well as the degree of satisfaction with existing transport services. The results indicate that mobility
is most strongly conditioned by economic opportunities, the availability of one's own transportation and the
quality of public transport. The main causes of dissatisfaction were also identified, such as irregular bus lines,
high costs and limited services in rural areas. The findings indicate the need for improved transport
infrastructure and increased public transport provision to promote mobility and quality of life of the population
in rural areas
