Abstract: Exploring the diverse reasons and influencing factors of labour mobility on the macro- and micro-level involves the use of various economic, sociological and psychological factors. This paper focuses on the residential environment including residential area and apartment type as influencing factors of potential to move. Considering the residential environment is a justifiable approach because actual migration definitely affects its change. The paper summarizes the results of a pilot survey of the MOVE project, which performs systematic data collection in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County (Hungary) about the mobility patterns of young people. The research sample consists of 184 business students of the University of Miskolc. The main goal of the analysis is to explore the relations between the variables of mobility intentions and the residential characteristics. Results show the future expectations about these factors and the personal need for changing the residential environment or house type show significant relations with the potential to move. Behind the need for a change dissatisfaction may stand. Consequently, measuring the satisfaction with the residential environment would be useful if the impact of other factors could be filtered out.
