Abstract

The article rises some issues concerning the current aspects of migration through explaining some definitions and giving a classification of certain types of migration, especially in the spectrum of influence of migration on the persons involved. The author gives a range of definitions covering the types of migration under review, in particular the voluntary and involuntary ones. Moreover, analysis of legal documents that also set some specific definitions and global interest to the issue shows the importance of the research towards the problem for the public attention. Keeping cultural identity at the same time as the necessity to get involved in the cultural life at the new place is also a concern, which is raised by the author.

In the article, we considered categories such as "forced and voluntary migration", "refugees", "IDP", "place of compact residence". Conceptual and categorical framework must be investigated in the historical and philosophical plane, in the context of moral and legal principles. It should be noted that not all categories and concepts are consistent in these manifestations, since legal and moral concepts, in many cases, do not always coincide with real circumstances of reality.

The questions of migration in the aspect of its influence on the person are discussed in the article, several definitions and categories are disclosed. Furthermore, a short review of history of migration is given with a special attention to modern characteristics. Additionally, an exact legal analysis of some definitions and connection between legal categories and aspects of real life is provided. The article begins with a research of migration conditions and their influence on people, their psychological condition and philosophic views. In this regard, the most important question that is necessary to understand is the change in the thinking and the way of life for people, who stay in temporary camps for migrants and their situation becomes protracted.

Key words: migration, voluntary migration, forced migration, refugees, internally displaced persons, identity, false migration, places of compact residence.
