Every year, substantial resources are allocated to foreign aid with the aim of catalyzing prosperity and development in recipient countries. The diverse body of research on the relationship between aid and gross domestic product (GDP) has…
Spatiotemporal patterns of population changes within and across countries have various implications. Different geographical, demographic and econo-societal factors seem to contribute to migratory decisions made by individual inhabitants.…
The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is being felt in all spheres of our lives -- cutting across the boundaries of nation, wealth, religions or race. From the time of the first detection of infection among the public, the virus…
This study examines the low population presence in the Community Campesina de Antacahua, aiming to identify migration drivers and assess their correlation with rural-to-urban migration trends. Employing a mixed approach, including surveys,…
Optimal Transport (OT) is a resource allocation problem with applications in biology, data science, economics and statistics, among others. In some of the applications, practitioners have access to samples which approximate the continuous…
Origin-destination (OD) flow modeling is an extensively researched subject across multiple disciplines, such as the investigation of travel demand in transportation and spatial interaction modeling in geography. However, researchers from…
We use interacting particle systems to investigate survival and extinction of a species with colonies located on each site of $\mathbb {Z}^d$. In each of the four models studied, an individual in a local population can reproduce, die or…
In 2012 the world's population exceeded 7 billion, and since 2008 the number of individuals living in urban areas has surpassed that of rural areas. This is the result of an overall increase of life expectancy in many countries that has…
The drastic changes in the global economy, geopolitical conditions, and disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted the cost of living and quality of life. It is important to understand the long-term nature of the cost of living…
Rapid urbanization with poor city planning has resulted in severe air pollution in low- and middle-income countries' urban areas. Given the adverse impacts of air pollution, many responses have been taken, including migration to another…
In this paper we study some mathematical models describing evolution of population density and spread of epidemics in population systems in which spatial movement of individuals depends only on the departure and arrival locations and does…
Pandemic outbreak creates a life threatening situation around the world and for a while it feels as if it slows down the world. A lot of effort is being taken to mitigate the spread of the pandemics. The main objective of this paper is to…
Social vulnerability is defined as the capacity of individuals and social groups to respond to any external stress placed on their livelihoods and wellbeing. Mobility and migrations are relevant when assessing vulnerability since the…
Estimating dynamic Origin-Destination (OD) traffic flow is crucial for understanding traffic patterns and the traffic network. While dynamic origin-destination estimation (DODE) has been studied for decades as a useful tool for estimating…
In developing countries like India agriculture plays an extremely important role in the lives of the population. In India, around 80\% of the population depend on agriculture or its by-products as the primary means for employment. Given…
Human settlements on Earth are scattered in a multitude of shapes, sizes and spatial arrangements. These patterns are often not random but a result of complex geographical, cultural, economic and historical processes that have profound…
Commuting Origin-Destination (OD) flows capture movements of people from residences to workplaces, representing the predominant form of intra-city mobility and serving as a critical reference for understanding urban dynamics and supporting…
The decisions of whether and how to evacuate during a climate disaster are influenced by a wide range of factors, including sociodemographics, emergency messaging, and social influence. Further complexity is introduced when multiple hazards…
Dormancy is a widespread adaptive strategy that enables populations to persist in fluctuating environments, yet how its benefits depend on the temporal structure of environmental variability remains unclear. We examine how dormancy…
Statistics on migration flows are often derived from census data, which suffer from intrinsic limitations, including costs and infrequent sampling. When censuses are used, there is typically a time gap - up to a few years - between the data…
