Sažetak
Contemporary globalization and migration trends point to the importance of the Internet and Internet social networking sites as possible facilitators of ever-increasing migration flows, both voluntary (labor and family) and forced ones. Theoretical considerations and the few studies that have been made so far suggest that Internet communication capabilities might reduce the social and psychological cost of migration decisions, enhance information acquisition and thus re-influence and boost migration flows. Given the current unfavorable migration flows from the Republic of Croatia, it is important to study the role of the Internet in their appearance and possible regulation. In addition to reviewing the current migration situation in the Republic of Croatia, this research examines hypotheses about the importance of the Internet and the face-to-face communication on migration phenomena at the micro and mezzo-level. Based on the data collected on an online sample of students at the University of Osijek, the author presents the data on the migration intentions of young people in Croatia, their current and future possible directions, examination of other determinants of migration intentions (the image of the country and the image of the preferred emigration country as push and pull migration factors) and their sociodemographic correlates (gender and study field). In conclusion, possible impact of the Internet and Internet social networking sites on the creation of transnational communities and possible return migration flows are laid out.
