Since 1996, migration-related schemes have directed new immigrants, refugees and humanitarian entrants to regional Australia to mitigate the need for skills and declining population growth in these locations. However, a key concern of these schemes is the uncertainty of long-term immigrant retention in regional locations beyond the stipulated visa category period. We draw on the metaphor of stickiness: the ability of geographic clusters to attract and retain to examine Australian regional settlement literature and identify factors and processes associated with immigrant settlement and retention. Through a systematic and rigorous review process, we identify seven interconnected factors and processes nestled amongst three core themes of sticky factors and processes that attract, enable and impede settlement and retention contributing to the growing knowledge regarding regional immigrant settlement and retention.

区域移民安置的粘性场所：文献综述

自 1996 年以来，与移民相关的计划将新移民、难民和人道主义入境者引导至澳大利亚偏远地区，以缓解这些地区对技能的需求和人口增长下降的情况。然而，这些计划的一个主要问题是，在规定的签证类别期限之外，移民长期保留在边远地区的不确定性。我们利用粘性的比喻：地理集群吸引和保留的能力来研究澳大利亚区域定居文献，并确定与移民定居和保留相关的因素和过程。通过系统和严格的审查过程，我们确定了七个相互关联的因素和过程，这些因素和过程位于吸引、促进和阻碍定居和保留的三个核心主题的粘性因素和过程中，有助于不断增长有关区域移民定居和保留的知识。
