| Research Abstract |
This study focused on the three main themes, "the migrants' life styles with continuous movements involved with return visits to their hometown", "construction of the migrants' houses and transformation of the cities" and "theorization and consideration of Migration City". I carried out the anthropological fieldwork and architectural investigation about migrants' houses in Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, Mexico, and examined the relationship between the migrants' return visits and urban transformation of sending societies. I clarified the concept of "travel-like dwelling" of Mexican-U.S. Migrants that is represented by their frequent and continuous return to their hometown.
