Predicting forced displacement is an important undertaking of many humanitarian aid agencies, which must anticipate flows in advance order to provide vulnerable refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) with shelter, food, medical care. While there a growing interest using machine learning better future arrivals, little standardised knowledge on how predict refugee IDP practice. Researchers officers are confronted the need make decisions about structure their datasets fit problem predictive analytics approaches, they choose from variety modelling options. Most time, these made without understanding full range options that could be considered, methodologies have primarily been applied different contexts – goals as opportunistic references. In this work, we attempt facilitate more comprehensive emerging field research by providing systematic model-agnostic framework, adapted use big data sources, for structuring prediction problem. As do so, highlight existing work predicting flows. We also draw our own experience building models Somalia, illustrate choices facing modellers point open questions may used guide work.

Abstract The various global refugee and migration events of the last few years underscore need for advancing anticipatory strategies in policy. struggle to manage large inflows (or outflows) highlights demand proactive measures based on a sense future. Anticipatory methods, ranging from predictive models foresight techniques, emerge as valuable tools policymakers. These now bolstered by advancements technology leveraging nontraditional data sources, can offer pathway develop more precise, responsive, forward-thinking policies. This paper seeks map out rapidly evolving domain methods realm policy, capturing trend toward integrating quantitative qualitative methodologies harnessing novel data. It introduces new taxonomy designed organize these into three core categories: Experience-based, Exploration-based, Expertise-based. classification aims guide policymakers selecting most suitable specific contexts or questions, thereby enhancing

Abstract One of the strongest empirical regularities in spatial demography is that flows migrants are positively associated with population stocks at origin and destination inversely related to distance. This pattern was formalized into what known as gravity models migration. Traditionally, distance measured geographically, but other measures distance, such cultural also relevant explaining migration flows. However, not widely adopted literature on modeling flows, partially because difficulties operationalizing producing these across space time.
