Abstract

The chapter delves into the intricate challenges of modelling forced migration in conflict zones, specifically focusing on South Sudan. It introduces agent-based modelling (ABM) techniques to predict refugee movements and highlights the integration of weather data to enhance the accuracy of these predictions. The authors discuss various coupling approaches, such as file I/O and MUSCLE3, to interconnect macro- and micro-scale simulations. They also present preliminary results demonstrating the potential of these models in forecasting refugee arrivals. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the need for further refinement and validation of these models to better understand and respond to the complexities of forced displacement.
