The refugee location data (Geo-Refugee) provides information on the geographical locations, population sizes and accommodation types of refugees and people in refugee-like situations throughout Africa. Based on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' Location and Demographic Composition data as well as information contained in supplemental UNHCR resources, Geo-Refugee assigns administrative unit names and geographic coordinates to refugee camps/ centers, and locations hosting dispersed (self-settled) refugees. Geo-Refugee was collected for the purpose of investigating the relationship between refugees and armed conflict, but can be used for a number of refugee-related studies. The original data for the category refugees and people in a refugee-like situation by accommodation type and location name comes directly from the UNHCR. The category refugees includes: "individuals recognized under the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol; the 1969 OAU Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa; those recognized in accordance with the UNHCR statute; individuals granted complementary forms of protection and those enjoying temporary protection.The category people in a refugee-like situation "is descriptive in nature and includes groups of people who are outside their country of origin and who face protection risks similar to those of refugees, but for whom refugee status has, for practical or other reasons, not been ascertained" (UNHCR http://www.unhcr.org/45c06c662.html). The unit of the data is the first-level administrative unit (province, region or state). A refugee location is defined as a unit with a known refugee population, as established by UNHCR country offices. The locations data was compiled using statistics provided by the UNHCR Division of Programme Support and Management. Several of the refugee sites in the original UNHCR data are camp names or other lo cations which are not immediately traceable to a particular location using even the most established geographical databases like that of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA). Thus, unit-level location of refugees was established and confirmed using supplementary resources including reports, maps, and policy documents compiled by the UNHCR and contained in the Refworld database (see http://www.unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/refworld/rwmain). Refworld was the primary database used for this project. Geographic coordinates were assigned using the database of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. See https://www1.nga.mil/Pages/default.aspx for more information. All attempts were made to find precise coordinates, including cross-referencing with Google Maps. The current version of the data covers 43 African countries and encompasses the period 2000 to 2010. The UNHCR began systematically collecting information on the locations and demographic compositions of refugee populations in 2000.

The map shows the Al Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. It is situated approx. 12 km from the Syrian border and in close proximity to the city of Al Mafraq (10 km). The camp was set up on July 28, 2012, to shelter refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria. The map shows general characteristics of the camp infrastructure, including camp extent, location of shelters, containers and facility buildings, road infrastructure and the runway area. For a more detailed view parts of the camp area are also shown in the zoom boxes. The vector data have been digitized on the basis of WorldView-2 satellite data (0.5 m spatial resolution) acquired on January 03, 2013. The results have not been validated in the field. WorldView-2 satellite data acquired on January 03, 2013, is used as backdrop.

The current worldwide refugee crisis is often referred to as the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II. Using Insights for ArcGIS, you'll look at data from 1951 to 2017 and find patterns in the global movement of refugees and asylum seekers.

First, you'll use link analysis to map the movement of refugees from their country of origin to their country of residence. Then, you'll create supplemental charts and tables and dig deeper into the data and the patterns that emerge over time.

In this lesson you will build skills in the these areas:

• Creating a link map
• Filtering data cards, tables, and charts
• Using link analysis to find patterns

A comprehensive survey was conducted on July 2, 2022, to prepare the fuel inventory map featuring dwelling structure, fuel load density, placement of fuel etc. In the 5-day long survey, three camps having contrasting fuel inventory have been examined. They are- Camp 4 Extension (Ex), Camp 5 and Kutupalong Registered Camp (KRC). These camps were selected based on the following features :

• Being the youngest of all the camp in Kutupalong, Camp 4 Ex followed a standard design and an average separation distance of 7m.
• On the other hand, Camp 5 is densely populated, having no visible space between two dwellings. It was one of the largest camps with a population of almost 25 thousand. The Rohingya community there are as equally impoverished as those living in Camp 4 Ext. The shelters of both of these camps are made of cellulose based structure material like wood, bamboo, timber etc., but the dwellings of camp 5 don’t follow any standard design.
• With a sharp contrast, dwellings in KRC follow a shaded structure consisting of six dwellings under one roof but separated by brick wall or corrugated steel sheet. KRC began informally in 1991, making it the oldest of all camps and its dwellers somewhat self-sufficient. A lot more permanent structure e.g., wooden furnitures, bed, wardrobe, showcase has been found here, increasing its fuel load larger than that of Camp 4 Ex and 5.

The Site Management sector, with the support of SM partners (IOM, UNHCR, ADRA and Solidarités International) conducted a mapping exercise during the months of April and May 2018 in the areas of Teknaf upazila currently hosting Rohingya refugees. The purpose of the exercise was to identify and map the boundaries of local paras, namely group of houses. The mapping exercise aimed to better define the areas of responsibility of the newly established Para Development Commitees, and to support RRRC’s CiCs in the process of defining the new camp boundaries in Teknaf.

IOM Needs and Population Monitoring (NPM) provided technical support to better identify the para names and demarcation. The para mapping exercise was conducted in two rounds. The first exercise took place from 1 to 3 of April 2018 in the areas of Alikhali, Leda, Nayapara, Muchoni, Jadimura and Domdumia. A second exercise took place on 21 and 22 April 2018 covering the areas of Hakimpara, Jamtoli, Putibonia, Shamlapur and Unchiprang.

This dataset presents the figures of the Rohingya refugee population in Teknaf, by para. These data were collected during NPM's regular data collection exercises (Baseline and Site Assessment), which usually capture information on a majhee block level. The two systems are currently coexisting and overlapping. In order to better visualize how the two systems interact, NPM produced a set of maps available at this link.

Abstract

In July-August 2021, a participatory assessment was conducted to map the protection gaps and challenges faced by refugees and asylum-seekers in Syria. The assessment was conducted mainly through 80 focus group discussions (FGDs) that were conducted in 11 Governorates with the participation of 712 PoCs. The FDGs were conducted in areas with the largest refugee and asylum-seeker populations. The main areas included Damascus / Rural Damascus (26 FGDs), Hassakeh (18 FDGs) and Aleppo (12 FDGs). During the discussions, refugees and asylum seekers identified various protection challenges and made recommendations to UNHCR.

The majhee block system represents an important aspect of communities within the Rohingya refugees settled in collective or camp-like settings in Cox's Bazar district. A majhee is a community leader belonging to the Rohingya refugee population, while a block is the area for which he is responsible.

The NPM majhee blocks mapping exercise was first conducted during NPM Baseline 9, between 5 and 20 February 2018. As part of the majhee interview process (key informants), enumerators walked the perimeter of each majhee block with guidance from the KI. As they walked, the field team traced their path, marking up the boundary on the tablet or paper map. Upon returning to NPM office, details of these boundaries were finalized on the paper maps.

The paper maps were then received by the NPM digitizing team. This team carefully digitized the Mahjee zone perimeters in GIS, using high-resolution NPM UAV imagery as an underlying reference. Boundaries were assigned the NPM Block_ID attribute, which represents a unique identifier for each Site Assessment Location. In this manner, boundaries can be uniquely linked back to a mahjee.

The majhee blocks mapping exercise is now embedded in NPM regular assessment activities (baseline and site assessment), hence regularly updated with a frequency of approximately three weeks.

The majhee block system is not an official form of governance. The scope of this exercise is purely descriptive and not prescriptive. Names and boundaries adopted in this exercise do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by IOM.

As of mid-2024, Syria had the highest number of refugees who had fled the country. That year, about 6.25 million refugees had left the country, mainly due to the civil war that started in 2011. Second on the list is Ukraine after over six million people left the country since Russia's invasion in February 2022. The third highest number of refugees in the world came from Afghanistan after years of civil wars, instability, and Taliban regaining power in 2021. What are refugees? Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their country because of dangerous circumstances, such as war, violence, famine, or persecution. These circumstances arise from race, religious, ethnic, and/or political persecution, and refugees are unable to return to their home countries due to these conflicts. As of 2022, Turkey hosted the largest number of Syrian refugees. Refugees worldwide The number of refugees, internally displaced people, and asylum seekers worldwide has significantly increased since 2012, much due to the civil wars in Syria and Libya that started in 2011, but also due to increasing instability in the Sahel, the Sudan civil war, the Israel-Hamas war, and the Russia-Ukraine war. An internally displaced person is someone who is forced to leave their home but still stays in their country. They are not legally considered a refugee. Asylum seekers are people who leave their home country and enter another country to apply for asylum, which is internationally recognized protection.
